🚨Cannabis Grow Problemsby AutoFlowerQueenExperienced2mo 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?

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

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.
