Thanks for your advice.
I didn't know about curing. duh! I just let them air dry and the buds are now very dry and crispy - I guess it would be too late to put them into a jar now?
The tricomes are the little crystal balls on the leaves arnt they? I'll get a microscope for next time. I am really dissapointed, as they smelt soooo good while they were growing, my mouth was watering, but now there is no pleasure smoking them because of the taste. :-(
potburns Reviewed by potburns on . bitter taste! Hi, Don't know if anyone can help. I've just grown my first plants and all seemed to go well, but now I'm smoking them, they don't taste so good and they are not very potent.

The taste is sort of bitter, and the potency is fairly mild and the effects makes you feel slow and tired, rather than up and smily. I have attached a picture of Rating: 5
