curing bud??

[buddaone]

I got some bud curing in a glass jar. I followed the instructions from this site and others so I believe the bud was put into the jar at the right point. While growing the plant never really had a smell to it. Two wks after curing I opened the jar and the bud smells spicy like "hot fries" (the snack with the comic strip character Andy)When I grinded a little to sample it kinda smelled citrus/roach spray--I don't know if it is because I didn't flush long enough before harvest. When I smoked a fat joint I didn't feel anything until almost the end of the joint. The buzz was nice but it doesn't last long. The bud is from bagseed so strain unknown.


I think I may have harvested this one too soon. The hairs were brown and withered but I didn't check the gland heads. Could this be the problem?? when I grind up the bud the little flowers are tiny.


What could have went wrong?? Is the spicy smell usual?
Any thoughts???

if the bud did not smell when flowering , It sounds like a bad strain with very low thc content
sorry to be the bringer of bad news

Just because a plant doesnt smell much in flowering doesnt mean it has a low thc content.northern lights is a low odour strain and it will get u rightly stoned!
Different strains have different smells thats just the way it is, How long did u flush it for before harvesting? maybe the left over ferts gave it a bad taste!
Or maybe its shit weed? it could be any number of things really
Hope that helps!

Did you notice any molding on the bud? Were they still wet when they went in to cure? Did you burp your jar ever? The hairs are brown and withered? How long did you flush for? How long did you let em flower for? too many q's

How does it burn? If it keeps going out and has a hard black ash then there are nutrients present still. A water cure would wash out most if not all the left over nutrients.


Good Kannabis Growing!
