I have harvested about 4 or 5 times and I grow indoor with hydroponics. The only harvest that came out with a good flavor and a smooth burn was the first one, which was the blue dream I grew. I'm currently flowering another blue dream at 12/12 from seed. Everytime I grow weed the buds on the plant while it's flowering smell dank as fuck, look huge and get my fingers super sticky. I flush with florakleen for four days while I wait for the trichomes to get cloudy and then I harvest. For the first few hours my weed smells good, then it starts to smell like hay, after a few days the harvest looks like a fraction of what it's supposed to look like, I'm keeping the fact that it's losing water weight/mass in mind. The buds get really crunchy/nasty smelling within 4 days but the stems don't snap, they're still moist... I tried putting a leaf from a fresh plant into a jar and threw the buds in there. It restored the humidity but the quality of the smoke is still poor. I've been curing for 8 days now and the smell is smelling less like chlorophyll but the taste is not getting better and the smoke is super harsh. I'm quite blazed out of my mind right now though for only 3 one hitters ahaha.
What I notice is that the conditions where I live are ridiculously unstable. We have 85 sunny degree days followed by 55 degree rainy days. We have random cold fronts and heatwaves. Summer is never really summer and winter is never really winter. So sometimes my buds dry way too fast and other times they dry just at the right speed. I dry the buds in the dark always hanging. sometimes in a closet, sometimes in a box, whatever I think of that time that's convenient. But I never keep a thermometer/hygrometer where the buds are drying so I can't tell you what temperature/humidity they dry in... Besides incorrect drying, what are other possible explanations why my weed is turning out so shitty?
I've tried a bunch of different seeds that look healthy and plentiful during their bloom, I doubt it's bad genetics for four consecutive bad harvests. Some of them store bought some of them bagseed.
