Why does my hanging bud smell like grass??

Ive strarted curing and the buds are all still on the branches just cut w/no leaves but they dont smell like dank, they smell like grass kinda... Does this go away and start smelling like dank?

it just does. that dank smell comes with cure

Okay cool, so just let em hang? and for about how long? does HAVE to be dark?

Was the harvest early?

Did you flush like hell the week and the night before harvest?

Did you harvest during the light cycle or right before the lights were supposed to go on?

yes dark for sure .hang until stem snaps then jars

Its my first full grow so yeah theyv e been flushed for almost 3 weeks but i didnt turn the lights off b4 harvest =/

Well, damn. Where they still well-watered? Or were they dried out?

Nah their sticky as hell

well...dry em. then start curing I guess is all you can do. There are some really good guides on here for harvesting and curing, check them out man. I have seen grassy bud actually turn sweet, its mostly chlorophyll that makes that nasty grass smell (which breaks down as the bud dries and cures). Good luck! And hell, at least you made it to the finish! Congrats on the first pull!

at no point should there be more than a hint of fresh grass. so many people ruin their bud manicuring at harvest, u want the dank stank remove only the sun leaves, and only the ones long enough to have stem pertruding from the bud (so u dont mangle ur fresh buds getting to the leaf stem) hang and finish the trim when its dry then cure... /.02

Well my buds were hella lose and i had to trim the most i culd and squish em together

And I guess its more of a hay smell then grass

yeah man my shit smelled like hay through drying. cure in glass jars for like 2-4 weeks and the dank smell will come. i heard that the hay smell is chlorophyl making its way out of the bud........but yeah i harvested two diesel ryders and it smelled like junk. after 2 weeks of cure they smelled like fruity DANKNESS

i had to chop one of my girls early a few days ago... mine are dried now and never had a hint of grass smell at all, i still have that dank kush smell. just cure your babies and she should turn out great!!
