Hi all,
Following years of reading and actual hands on experience, I still can't get to the bottom of how to create a clean burning end product with a white ash and strong taste.
I've managed to achieve it, just not consistently and cannot fathom why.
I've always grown in soil. First run was in biobizz allmix with biobizz organic feed and tap water. No flush resulted in black ash and bad taste.
Next run flushed for over 21 days of just water and still had black ash, bad taste.
Another run was allmix and organic feed, but using bottled water. No real flush this time but we had a white ash and cleaner burn once dry.
Tried different brand of organic soil mix but tap water again. Flushed for over 21 days. Black ash this time!
Tried chemically amended soil with no feed throughout entire grow. Black ash.
So it seems from trial and error, the problem is not the flush, but either the water or some other factor im not considering like the drying process. I've always chopped the entire plant and hung it in the dark in a cool room. The run that burnt white took the same amount of time to dry as the ones that burnt black.
Curing in my opinion is moot as I have had bud that tasted nice and burnt white when it was not even dry.
I don't think it could be overfeeding as one run was in organic soil with no feed throughout. They yellowed out early on but still burnt black once dry. Very strange.
I was wondering if anyone has an opinion on this and how to get consistent white ash?
Thanks
