Over Dried

[NamasteDaze]

So sad, one plant was salvaged, it smells fine and flavors/smells improved after 6 week cure. The other plant was smaller and does not smell good.....
Question - can I slavage this somehow? dry-sift hash or edibles?

Tried to salvage the cure with 62% boost bags, worked on one plant.

Does it look 'good?' What do you see when you use a microscope, loupe, etc. to look at the trichomes?

Throw an appropriate size piece of luttuce in with it. Works good as far as adding moisture to the weed .

Attached are usb microscope photos; thinking the trichomes are intact. Overall, the flowers were amazing, sticky, dense, but don't have a great smell. The flowers were 55-52% when they placed into Grove bags with the boost packs. initially, over several days the humidity climbed up to 62% and has held for around 8-9 weeks.
@pias appreciate the lettuce trick, orange peels are what I would use. back in the day to help add moisture to flowers that were dry. It worked for the larger plant, smells are improved, especially grinded flower very sticky, the smaller plant.

A couple more...
appreciate the insights

The bud and trichomes look good. Particularly if you are smoking (vs. vaping) the buds, any undesirable odor you smell in a bag/contaIner may not be noticeable when burned. And you can always lightly scent the buds, for ex. as you cited seal them up along with orange peels; or just keep venting the container regularly as the buds presumably continue curing and hope that particular odor goes away.

If it doesn't smell good, it might not make for great hash or edibles. Maybe try both and see which one works out better. And boosting with the bags sounds like a good call.

That was my thought, but honestly unsure. WIll updated as I attempt to do some dry-sifting hash and edibles. Will attempt edibles first and continue to hold out hope that the smells will improve with additional curing.

Appreciate the feedback and input; it is time for an update.
Edibles and vaping with the flower the stuff is potent! The taste while vaping is not great, but also not horrible.
Not sure I will have any remaining to dry sift, but will update should it happen....
Thanks again
