WEed taste bad

[SCF]

Ok here is my problem. seems the potencey of my weed sucks, and the flavor is not that good as well. Has aharsh flavor at the end of the bowl... So i need help LOL..

next few months if yall can help me i would really be thank full..


Right now i have 3 sets of strains.. AK47, GrapeFruit, and HOG.


It has been probalby 3 to 4 weeks in vegging. topped at 4th internod. no feeding yet.... So here we begin. They are in straight Fox Farm Ocean Forest in 1 gallon buckets. THey are sprouting well with the top.. getting ready to Transplant them. At the time of transplant i plan to feed them well with Fish emulsion and Kelp. @ 2 table spoons of fishy per gallon, half a gallon per plant...


Ok... so i normally will only feed once or twice after that before flowering...

Then for flowering i plan on useing Fox Farm Big Bloom Pure organic, Bat guano sprinkled on the top of the plant every couple of weeks. Kelp. ANd for additives, i planned on using something new house and Gardens Top booster and Bcuzz booster... But i think i have to be carefull of the boosters because they may be whats causing the foul taste.... Also i was thinking of trying molasis for flavor... i heard this really works... I normally will also add liquid karma to the food waterings.

Is this too much? its not really working.. what do you suggest? Im willing to try anything at this point... rather than waste my time.. thanks

ive got a friend who feeds his power plant with moasses just before every harvest and it tastes nice not too my liking though cos i have sesitive teeth and smoking sugar aint exactly good for em

The most obvious thing to suggest would be to make sure you're flushing, drying and curing them properly.

 

[pontiac]

Definiatley flush them with water or a salt leaching solution near the end of harvest (GH FloraKleen, AA Clearex, GT Final Flush, AN Final Phase etc.). And yea SB is right, dry and cure them properly too.

If at first you dont succeed. Try and try again...

lol.... are u high?

 

[Maj.PotHead]

flush for 10-14 days w/plain water before harvest, harvest them trim larger fans leaves off hang upside down or lay flat on a elevated screen need air circulation. good to have a small fan blown in room they dry in 10-14 days check em, when a branch snaps when ya bend it that bud should be dry enough to manicure. curing i use 1 quart glass mason jars for canning, i fill the jar not real tight but full i place lid on and stick jar in cool dry place. every day for 20-30 min's i open the jars and let the air exchange then replace lids and put back in dark cool spot.. your weed will 1st prolly smell like fresh cut grass then after about 1wk it may smell like drier grass/hay. after 2-3 wks it starts to take on the smell and taste it should have this is providing ya gave her a proper flush w/plain water

he maybe but it's true there are teas ya can make w/black strap mollasis do a search on it here you'll see

The main 2 things that have already been said are///Flush,i flush for 10 days Min,straight water.//Then the Cure for atleast two weeks(sometimes cant wait n puff the same day its dry),but i found drying plants with all the fan leaf on kinda gives it a harsh smoke,dont know if you did that though.But man the strains you mentioned are too many tastey ,lol,and my AK tastes awesome right after the dry and before cure even.Ive heard of using Moleasses too,lol,but i would never add anything like that to my buds but water for a flush,and if i ever grew bud that tasted like crap and was harsh i prob wouldnt grow it again.If you want taste,look into C99/BoggleGum/NL5 x Haze or some other fruity flave,lol.Peace and stay safe,DancesWithWeed

Flush Flush Flush...

I personally like CC method of testin if its flushed... After a good week or so flush, snap off a leaf and taste the sap. If its bitter it still needs to be flushed, if it nearly tastes like water, your good : )

The sweetest tasting herb is grown organically with guanos and an ammended soil mix, you won't break any yield records but you'll invest in the taste and quality of your herb.
Things to avoid organically for taste include fish emulsions (which you listed) which can be high in metals and polutants depending on the brand, I find even the OMRI vertified brands leave an aftertaste.
The only thing molasses does is feed and boost the microbe levels in the soil which boosts the amount of soil ammendments being processed to the plant, it helps flush the remaining nutes in the soil by boosting soil microbes.
The best way to achieve maximum taste is by exhausting the stored nutrient levels in the leaf tissues by starving or "flushing" the plant before it is harvested, a good way to exhaust a plant is not to overfeed it to begin with and keep feedings on the reserved side.
I have been playing around with water quality and you'd be surprised how using a better quality water source near the end helps flushing, low PPM water has a better ability to dissolve leftover traces of nutes.
Lastly stay away from anything than is a booster or bloom enhancer, they're usually full of a cocktailed ingredients and high release ferts in small amounts which impact taste due to storing mechanisms.

When you say flush do you mean 3 times water to gallon of soil? Or pure water last 2 weeks. because i did pure water last 2 weeks but not full on flush.... thanks for advice.

Definiatley flush them with water or a salt leaching solution near the end of harvest (GH FloraKleen, AA Clearex, GT Final Flush, AN Final Phase etc.). And yea SB is right, dry and cure them properly too.

Yes your right that curing is so important. I would love a step by step guide. I normaly hang them upside down. Till crispy.. no snapy steam. then put them in a bag where i open it twice a day for 2o minutes.. Freezer bag.. dont seem to work well maybe.

If at first you dont succeed. Try and try again...

Mighty fine looking plant my friend.. wow!!! Yes i have spent 1000's into my grow, so many nutes its not funny, and let alone the years.... im so close damn it i just want fine herb.. ALthough this isnt bad.. its just not that mouth watering bud i want.. im spoiled.

Dude you hit the nail on the head!!!!!! I let all the leaves dry till complete dry then i trimed. this time i will take all the nasty fan leaves off.... and these were all different strains... Morning star, C99, Bubble gum, Bubba Kush, Romulan. Not all taste like shit.. just the bubble gum, they just taste very DRY to the palet.. give major cotton mouth... Now after a month.. flavor is really curing off... but not the DANK>... im use too you know?

I must say the c99 taste the best!!!! thanks for your input

he maybe but it's true there are teas ya can make w/black strap mollasis do a search on it here you'll see

Coo i will try to search and post them here for future ref for myself. thanks..

Yes the fish emulsion i use is very low in metals i made sure of it.. and i only use it once.. i think this may be due to the Bcuzz bloom booster.... not sure.. but... To play it safe. like i said i will try ANYTHING>. i feed with high Nitrongen Bat guano today in a water.. with Kelp.... For first feeding. Well you got my interest regarding pure water.. think i may try it for the rest of the grow. i have very hard water here probably very high in PPM. Thanks a lot for your input as it is valued!

 

[SCF]

I just want to thank everyone for that response.. i will keep this thread updated as to the progress with pictures so i can get some good help!!!! Want to make sure im thinks perfect.





So today i feed with high N bat guano and liquid kelp. Time to transplant tomorrow. I will get Exact NPK of all food im using for a complete idea of whats going on here.. Its hot... so things are not easy.. i got a lot of work ahead of me.. its like a full time job i swear!

[chizzleonetime]

HEY i was wrecked when i wrote that! moasses* lol, but honestly it does work , and beleive me next time u have toothache try smokin weed that smells sweet!!

Great tip Bart, thanks!

SCF sounds like a flush will do you right....

Hello SCF,

Yes very familiar.. i am always not putting in N for flowering. i guess i need to add some in late flowering? Those were pictures from my last grow.

 

[coolx]

I'm a new grower with just a couple of grows done, but with 2 years worth of reading forums, so take this with a bucket of salt ....

Normally, the bad taste would most likely be to not flushing, but this is the organic soil forum and most people say it's not necessary to flush organics, so ....?

Bat guano sprinkled on the top of the plant every couple of weeks.

I'm not sure if I'm getting this right - maybe your English is not so good - you surely can't really mean you're sprinkling guano ON TOP of the plant?!!! Even on top of the soil is not as good as making a good tea. But that could explain the N def if that's what it is, but the leaves have a weird brown thing going on, which doesn't look like N

 

[4iiii'z]

strain anyone ?

grow a fruity strain like bubblegum or heavy duty fruity
it would take some serious effort to fuck those up
