Black ash

[Nice-guy-eddy]

Can too many nutrients during the bloom phase cause black ash from the end product? And yes it is dry sitting at 59 percent humidity inside the jar. My only thought was (and I know all the controversy) was I flushed for a week and did not see any fade...but this harvest does not taste well and black ash and won't stay lit.

I smoke weed from a talented grower. My ash tends toward black. I think the whole white ash thing was a troll.

I dont understand what I'm doing wrong I've dried for 14 days, I've burped the jars, been monitoring my humidity, still taste like shit and black ash like crazy. I've tried different strains and still the same weird taste. I've let them go until ripe before I harvest as well. I dont know what to do.

14 days is way too long for dry time, I usually dry for 5-7 days before curing.

Black ash does not mean anything.

If you are giving chemical fertilizer that is most likely why the bud doesn't taste/smell good.

Go organic

If it won't stay lit it isn't dry

I live in the desert. I’ve had bone-dry weed that balked at keeping a cherry. Good weed too.

I'd check your hygrometer.
If it won't stay lit, then your buds are not 59% humidity.
How long do you let them stay in the jars before you check the humidity?

Humidity inside the jar is not rising. That tells me its dry.

Overnight...I've used 3 different hygrometers and they all are reading the same

Did you harvest early?
Sounds like your weed is too wet.

Roll it as loose as a cigarette and try again. It's not from nutes.

Did not harvest too early and my humidity inside the jar is not raising above 59 percent overnight

I would sincerely not sweat ash color.

Yeah but it doesn't taste right...I am contributing the black ash to the weird taste

Sounds like its your hygrometer. I've smoked blueberry at 62% and it stayed lit just fine.

It is super easy to decide “together means because”. In this instance I don’t think they go together.

I've used 3 different hygrometers and the real good ones I use for work (hvac)

Pics of your ripe weed before harvest?

I'm guessing that you are using bottled nutes, that is why your weed taste like shit.
