Harsh taste

[ogeekush1]

Hey guys i been having this problem for a while now the bud looks incredible but the smell and taste is not there i checked my water ppm and its at 370 would hard water be able to cause a harsh taste with no flavor?

Is yout bud dry???

Next how long did you flush? And how?

 

[ogeekush1]

dry wet all strains taste the same harsh with black ash i flushed with tap water which was 370 ppm which is like not flushing at all i now realize

Are you in soil? What do you feed the plants? Even if its organic you can make herb taste harsh, trust me. Go lighter with feeding and enjoy better herb even if it means less yield.

I'm in roots soil and feed roots organic line around what ppm should I feed in flower with roots?

You wanna make sure your plants fade out before you chop.

the leaves faded yellow but there was no purple like in most pictures i see from phosphorus deficiency

So would hard tap water be able to effect smell and flavor?

Yes, hard water will affect the taste of final product. Invest in a Reverse Osmosis filter for a hundred bucks and you'll have water between 0-10 PPM forever. Also, make sure plants fade out and complete senescence before chopping. Chopping too early could result in unwanted Nitrogen in your flowers and this will cause your ash to burn black and taste very bad.
