It smells like grass

[sammysamsam]

My outdoor northern lights is pulled 5 days ago smells awful, smells like grass. I only trimmed the fan leaves off, its in a dark, not too hot not too humid environment hanging (full plant). This is my 1st grow, 2nd pull i pulled my other plant a few weeks ago (gorilla glue- currently curing) but it didn't smell gross like this. When i touch the buds tho it leaves a nice scent on my hand but over all isn't pleasant. It's not dry yet the stems are still rubbery and bendy when I test. Will it improve is my question? Thanks in advance

Hey sammy
Grassy or hay smell is common at first.
Don't worry.
Once it's dried and you finish trimming it will improve.
Then the cure process will remove the rest of the grass smell.
After curing terps will improve the aroma.
Eventually it'll smell like pot, if cured properly.
Congrats on your harvest my friend.


Stay safe

it will improve with the hang and cure. just make sure it doesn't dry too fast during the hang. it's better to jar early and extend the burp if they dry fast. drying fast locks the harshness and grassiness in, the hang and cure transforms it.

just make sure you get them into the jars a little above 62% rh. bring the rh down with the burp and cure time til it is stable, then jar solid for a month with no burp. it is done after that.

you can use boveda packs to smooth the cure and burp out once they are in the jars.

the bovedas are an option. you can cure and jar without them, they just make things easier.
