I have a problem with the taste

So i have 2 new strains i just harvested for the first time... i did them both in the same fiber pot(only thing i did different from others) anyways they bothe came out looking and smelling amazing.... like so good... so i finally smoke them and they dont taste anything like the smell.. plain tasting... using foxfarm soil and feeding compost teas.. could the 2 in one pot affect taste? Shouldnt right? One was ethos grandpas cookies the other inhouse platinum x zkittlez.... halp!

Did you dry them down to 58-62%RH and then cure them for a few weeks? generally you need to reduce the water content of cannabis to break down the chlorophyll.

Sounds like they weren’t dried properly. They may not be properly dried Couldn’t be over dried as I’d think it would’ve been mentioned.

How long were they dried? Temps and humidity levels throughout the process?
Hung whole, or by the branch?

Are you expecting the smoke to taste like the smell? Have you had other harvests that tasted better? If you had different plants all not have taste its possible you rushed drying. If my hang dry takes less than 9 days something went wrong and the smoke not only doens't burn as good but the taste/smell isn't as powerful.

70 F - 60% RH is ideal for hang drying for me, complete darkness and very light passive airflow (no direct wind blowing on buds)
I usually get stems that snap after about 10 days with these conditions in a 4x8 grow tent.

My bad i posted this in the problems section... i have others that come out fine... i did cut these slight early.. 10 weeks from flip.... im gonna try one more time n hope it had something to do with the 2 in one pot

It's most definitely not from having two plans in one pot. Check your dying techniques.

If the plants finished and grew like normal, then having 2 in one pot makes no difference. Like the others have said, chances are that it's either the dry/cure process or possibly genetics. Have you grown these particular strains before? Did you grow from seed or clone?

It's just the nature of things. Terpy plants that taste good too are something that's sought after. You need to hunt for them and keep cuttings.

And,
Not harvest too early.

But by sounds of it, it was just luck of the draw.
