hey I've been growing for quite sum time now and i feel dumb for asking this but i haven't been able to figure it out on my own..
first off i hang dry for 7-10 days then i cure for 2wks burping everyday

now the finished product tastes gd but it always ends up getting real dark n has a major lack of smell which kills the bag appeal

so my question is how can i maintain the lime green color and how can i save the smell from dissipating during drying?

any info would b helpful
thanks guys n gals

verygood question n i 2nd that..

Many Strain Are Different, It Sounds Like You Are Doing The Right Things, Do You Keep It In A Dark Place? It Usually Is Going To Fade In Color As It Dries, They Say That In The Cure The Smell Is One Of The Last Things To Come Through, Maybe Give Them More Time In The Jars..

yea i figured theyd fade a bit its just sumtimes my buddy gives me these buds that are like brite lime green and coverd in crystals and mine looks that way on the plant but not even close once dried

and yea il try that maybe like 3-4wks of cure mite improve the smell abit

thanks hatch ur tha man

You might try to maybe put the buds in opaque containers once hang dried? Only one time did i ever use a fully opaque container to cure and thats the only time that color stayed with the buds, the smell was still the same i never expect it to smell what it does like on the plant but it wasnt completely odorless.

However in my posession right now i have a few gs' of some dankness that has no odor whatsoever, smells like nothing even to the nose and is very very dark. When i got it i was pissed (Passed off some ****ty regs from a friend?), but once it was tested its a-ok lol. Very sativa high. (off topic)

yea im drying my 1st harvest now,, 2 days in my cab,, 2 days in paperbag 3-4 weeks in jars,, buds arent too thick,, see what happens..
