🚨Cannabis Grow Problemsby AutoFlowerQueenExperienced6mo ago

Plant smells like hay after drying — did I ruin it?

Dried my harvest for 5 days (stems snapped) and now it smells like hay/grass instead of cannabis. What happened? The buds looked and smelled great on the plant. Can curing fix this?

Had this exact issue last grow. What fixed it for me was flushing with pH'd water and letting the soil dry out before feeding again at half strength.

Post a picture if you can — hard to diagnose without seeing the actual damage pattern. But from your description, I'd guess pH-related lockout.

Same thing happened to me when I was overfeeding. Backed off the nutrients by 50% and new growth came in healthy within a week.
