Guys thanks for the great advice. I feel like I'm missing some small step that's screwing things up, but I just can't for the life of me figure it out. The herb allows looks fantastic, but the taste leaves a lot to be desired. I was using Clearex for multiple grows but I stopped using it and switched to plain water thinking maybe that was causing the bad taste (I was basically trying to change everything from the water to the grow media to the nutes, assuming one was the culprit). I knew from all the reading I've done that the drying process is the one of the most difficult aspects of the grow, but I thought I had a good handle on it. When I dry I was cutting the buds from the plant and hanging them from string that I had set-up in a large box. After 6-7 days when they were fairly dry on the outside I would put them into plain brown shopping bags until the stems would snap, then into the mason jars. I was always trying to keep the RH between 55-65% and the temps between 65-75. I do have a couple of humidifiers that I use in the winter. Crabbyback I think I will try your way of hanging the whole plant, you may be on to something. I also have bubblebags that I use to make hash, but that also taste crappy. I really don't want to switch to soil, maybe I'll try one more grow in fall and hope for the best. Crabbyback and Foothillsfarmer thanks for taking the time to try and help I appreciate it.
