Why does my dried & cured weed smell like ammonia.

By purposely removing air movements around the cannabis during curing, you give the aerobic bacteria a chance tp metabolize the sugars present in the flower. It is important to note  the word “aerobic”. Precense of anaerobic bacteria goimg to work is unwanted, as it results into that ammonia smell and rotten flowers.

In case you notice a smell of ammonia, that essentially means that the flowers have not dried up to the desired levels. You are required to boost the aerobic microbes a bit by increasing the levels of oxygen. This is the reason why you “burp” the flowers. Reintroduction of oxygen is done by opening you sealed container ( whether it is a tub or Mason jar or glass Tupperware), this will enable metabolism of those sugars to happen. On top of that, gently moving the flowers around inside the tub also helps. During the first week of curing, its essential to burp your flowers once or twice per day. Your curing flowers only needs a proper burping every other day after that.

After properly curing your flowers for 2-3 weeks, its typically ready to be smoked; however, many cultivars are better after being cured for more than a month. When its properly burped and dried in the first week of cure, that weed can be stashed for a long period of time preferably in a dark cool place.
