i harvested a blue mystic about 3 weeks ago, let it dry for a week and a half then put them in the jar, its been in there since. ive been opening and the jar mixing the weed twice a day every 12 hours leaving it opened for two hours at a time. yesterday i tried one of the buds, cut it up it smelled great but was still to wet to stay lit and did not taste to good. my question is, when i take a sniff of the jar when i open it it smells like plant not weed not one bit the outside of the buds feel kinda crusty but not dry, is my buds to wet to cure yet and why does my weed not smell like weed???..........here are some pictures of my yield. the wet weight was around 98 grams, when i weighed it a couple days ago it was around 24 grams. this is my second grow, first successful check out my sig if you wana see the whole grow..

hey,,
the 'dank' smell sound subside to leave a weedy smell if you keep curing.....from my exp...
and from the way I read it you sound like the 98g to 24g is bad,,just mind that during drying 75%(roughly) of the bud evaportates ,such as water and other gases...so i cant do the math as im shit at math and am quite baked,,you got your routine down, id say maybe another few days of 'burping' the jar and then seal and the smell should come....I have a sweet dwarf thats dry and in the cure,smells more like cut grass,,it had a short flush but I doubt it is left over fert,,but aye,,it should come,
take it easy and good luck.

hey,,yeah,,3 weeks,,is it not smelling weedy at all?
well like you say maby better luck next time. some like to put a slice of citrus fruit like lemon or orange into the cure jar to add a citrus armoa and maybe taste to the bud. the bud has to be very dry cause it is adding abit more moisture.
take it easy.
