Bloombastic Issue?

hi everyone. I just finished my first autogrow, very good yield, all babies were in great shape til the end, now I harvested and trimmed and curing. but...

to me, the smell of the buds is not... correct. it has a... dunno. chemical feeling, something like one kind of detergent. they have just a couple of days of drying but if I open the bud... well it's almost nauseating.

I've used bio boost and bloombastic, never exeeded the 1ml/l ratio, only used it from 2nd week of flo, strains are easy rider and critical mass x ak47. average yield per plant was awesome, 75-85g wet.

but all this is less than secondary if I'm going to have chemical smoke...

Chemicals are not in the bud. The roots use those chemicals to produce sugars. If those sugars are left in the plant you will have black ash or crackled smoke. Nitrogen just happends to be the chemicals that produces it.

It's intresting and amazing what real weed smells like. When I grind my Deisel it smells like baby puke.

This isn't an issue with Bloombastic... I use it.

The weed you have is primarily responsible for the taste/odor... it's genetic. Likely that is just the weed you have, esp with a full flush cycle.

Do notice that some of your colas have a 'burnt' look to em... like they were too close to the light perhaps...? That'l effect as a loss in both aroma & flavor, but not turn it chemy. Chemy is a quality of the herb itself, likely...

thanx! buds are nicely browned/pinked but due to ripening, foliage wasn't burnt. strange genetic they have... anyway they have at least one full month of cure, maybe terps will change that... I'll take seriously taste as one of the critical factors choosing my next strains...
