Black ash

[buckaclark]

Man what am doing wrong? I dried fir 14 days (and even smoke some picked right off the dried plant and it absolutely tasted great) when I put it in jars and I'm monitoring my humidity and it doesnt rise much. After a couple days of jarring this is when the weed starts to taste awful and black ash occurs. And then I'm thinking oh shit maybe I'm jarring it too early so i let the buds lay out over night and then jar again. Buds never end up tasting or smelling like right off the plant

I noticed anything over 60 going in jar is mistake.

So I'm 100 percent sure my bud is dry and I still have black ash and taste like shit. At this point I'm really beginning to think this is excess nutrients in my flower... what else could it be?

It’s pretty hard to convince a hoard of growers that your issue is not flushing
When they all know that isn’t the issue
But hey I admire your efforts but im not in
I also hate these guess what I did wrong threads
Next run flush weekly, monthly, even all the last month and tell us how it goes
For the record, if by some chance , you did everything right
That leaves genetics
Pretty little plant Heath Robinson used to grow called black rose was the nastiest tasting thing next to rope and burned almost as well
Anyway sorry about your product, better luck in the future but it isn’t gonna fix a thing if you plan flushing as a cure

Try a hammer. It was a miracle.

Ya don't say

 

[CatHedral]

Ya don't say

It made an impact, let me tell you

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

Black ash does not mean anything.

We pretty much all disregarded your "advice" after you posted this BS.

Would you mind if you told me your drying and curing method? Just looking for some advice. Thanks

I noticed anything over 60 going in jar is mistake.

I will say it is about 63 percent when I jar. Could that alter the flavor and burn, even when it ends up being fully dry?

Metate .I use not pestal

I’m thinking genetics or something you did in grow or your environment
My drying is always the same strain is all that changes

 

[buckaclark]

Hell yes go in at 58 you were 10 percent over

Ta Da
Ya molded it

I’m mortarfied

Mold seems likely, especially considering the bad smell AND taste.

And just because I can't see it doesn't mean its not there right? What should the humidity in the jars be when I initially put the buds in the jar.

 

[Billy the Mountain]

Yup

< 60%

 

[MickFoster]

I jar mine at 65% and have never had mold.
I have a few ounces that is going on 2 years old and still reads about 63%.

 

[Nice-guy-eddy]

Do you wait for the stem to snap completely or just crack when you bend it?

 

[Billy the Mountain]

I jar mine at 65% and have never had mold.

I do as well initially while still burping periodically, once <60% I stop opening
