So after huge effort trying to grow best nugs so far I ended with diddly squat..
I was growing Dream Machines in coco with Canna A+B...usually I would have just used the regular PK 13/14
but this time (its a "9 week strain")..I used the regular PK with the slowly increasing method from week 3 in flower..they looked ok etc until end of week 6..then I decided to switch to AN Overdive and it swelled up the nugs quite nicely but the frostiness wasn't quite there ,so close to the beginning on week 8 I added Bud Factor-X to get more oils and trichomes...but there wasn't really a huge increase in that department...I kept them going 10 weeks in total of flowering (buy the way the stretch ended instantly when flipped to 12/12)..The weird thing that the smell totally disappeared on the last 2.5 weeks...and now the nugs been dry and in glass jars...I might have over dried some of them..before glass jar thing (+some I took out and dried a bit more..and put back in glass jars, because I felt they where a bit too damp)...anyway buds don't smell at all...yesterday we tried some and fuck horrible taste of chemicals or odor (might be me spraying outside the tent some odorspray..sucked in the tent...And NO I didn't do any flush..(there is 2 camps and I have been in the one that believes in no flushing on the last weeks of building weight)...anyway the smoke was weak ass and bad flavor....where the hell didi I go wrong..
maybe incorporating nute brands or where....anyway for here on I might just go back and grow the Moby Dicks they have never failed in size or strength....I can't afford to do experiments and see what happens it has to go right or better than last time ,not like this...Fucking shit !

Didn't really have time to check out the ash..I think it was grey...but the smoke didn't make make me cough or burn in throat
..the buds if you hold in you hand and snif,snif ,,,,sniiiif smells just like bark and that's all...I was looking with my micro scope at the colors of the trichomes now ,and its like they are ether amber or clear,,,can't really spot any particular anything in between...
I am wondering that the natural curve of maturing was interrupted with the Overdrive and instead of producing oils it started to build size and messed up with its natural curve of maturing...beacuse the AN Overdrive puts the plants back to the size building kind of a flowering veg mode..it said that it might delay the actual ripening ,so that's why I kept the extra 1 week...(that was like the limit of my patience)...anyway newer really had this much of ambers in my buds before like 20-40 %....but the freaking buds are not sticky at all you can have them in your hand and they are fucking dry bark...yes there is some shimmer and they look quite ok...not like the cover pics on High Time magazine do..

Overdrive messed up my crops when I tried it as well, maybe the culprit?

I'd do what diabolic there said and see if that works :bigjoint:

Ok, cheers hopefully the 8 gram pack is enough for a 2 liter jar...because the 60 gram ones are expensive in the quantity I need them...so I will make my order for the 8 gram Bovedas....last change to correct me for my order....anybody ?

What happened to your crop...details step by step, what you used for base nutes, additives ,when incorporated Overdrive...how much resin production..strength...any smoke experience..taste like shit or didn't work..etc.

grow organic use pro mix mixed with earth worm castings with lots of compost teas and molasses use alfalfa meal, sea kelp meal and naturally mind rock dusts like azomite for food. never feed the last three weeks of flower and i really back off the molasses at week 4 of flower. used canna when i first started growing indoors its good stuff but when growing with canna, zymes and a flush is a must... even just adding molasses and a zyme to what you were running would help canna makes an enzyme called cannazyme and its great stuff. and ive learned running additives from different nute lines can be risky...

Thank you Diabolical...can we agree that its now all on you and if it all fails I can send you a bill with payment due date...and if not paid in time it goes straight to repo department...so the repo guys may wake you up when they are carrying out the sofa where you sleep among other stuff...but I think its fare game in these circumstances singing-cartman-smiley-emoticon.gif

i've found that most of the "accelerators" you can use are full of useless shit. molasses has worked for me for years, about the third week of actual bud production i start adding 1 tbsp of molasses to each watering and cut it off 2 weeks before i plan to chop. you can pay 30+ bucks a bottle for sugar water that may fuck up your crop, or you can pay 3 bucks for a bottle of molasses thats never fucked up anyones crop
