Hey guys, I just had my first grow, I got a decent amount, but I noticed a really harsh down when I smoked the results. Could this be caused by how they were grown? They were flushed 1-2 weeks in advance of harvest. Thanks. :thumbsup:

Usually that means you harvested a bit late...
Could just be the strain or as Redtails mentioned, harvested late. If you are working with clone stock try cutting a little earlier.
Oh really? Oh wow. Okay, Thanks redtails, I'll keep this mind.Quote:

I didn't like how it dried to the point of being REALLY crispy, so I put it back in the jars, and they never got back to the point of being less crispy...Quote:

Ah, well, last year was my first year so I'm glad to learn about this before the next one. Thanks Killer. I wish I could try the stuff that you cured for so long. Must be a riot :DQuote:
