OK so I have 2 plants that are Gorilla Glue #4.
Harvested at same time, for now I'll refer to them as plant 1 and plant 4.
Plant 1 is still curing at 65% humidity in jars since the 14th of december. Anytime humidity hit 66 or higher I would leave top off of jar for 1 to 2 hours. If humidity was 65 or lower, I only open lid for 3 minutes or so once every sunday. Now this plant has no real smell, in fact my buddy said it kinda smells like dirt lol. It's a damn good smooth smoke though. Once it hits 60% humidity I'll throw in a boveda pack and store it for good until use.
Plant 4: still the same strain, It kept getting up to 71% or higher so I would leave it sitting out on dry rack for 8 hours. I repeated this step a few times I believe but when I did it for the final time, i let it sit out for like 12 hours and it ended up settling at 59% rh in Kar and not any higher. I fucked up by not letting it sit in its "cure zone" of 65 to 60%. Now the result is this, it's clearly a more harsh smoke but yet has a very nice smell, unlike the correctly still curing plant 1.
I was under the impression the smell is the same via the strain yet this isn't my case. Both plants dried in closet for 4 days before clipping from stem and jarring. Am I missing something? I was thinking maybe once the bud drops below a certain humidity say like 60% or less, something occurs to where the smell comes out? I was thinking of testing this theory on 1 of the 2 jars of plant 1 to see what happens if I let it sit out for a few hours a day until rh = a steady 60 or below but not below 55 of course as that's the exiting point for a cure.
Thoughts?
