I've been watching this thread as I do all of them in here. Two things...
1- I don't post much anymore because of arguments. Pay attention Xmobotx.
2- I think the bud isn't dry or wasn't dried properly is the reason for the black ash.

fan leaves will readily yellow, especially in an outdoor grow where there are usually many more environmental triggers to senescence. its the actual buds you need to yellow or turn a lighter green in order to improve the quality of the smoke
fact is that each plant is different and some will do this much more easily than others. from the same pack of seed some will be much more faded at 10 weeks than others if especially in a rich soil , dry amendments or otherwise.
lots of disagreement amongst organic growers in this, but i find that the natural process of senescence is not always good enough to give me buds that smoke as smoothly as i want them to. i always try to ensure nutrient depletion in my medium, especially nitrogen, in order to give natural senescense a helping hand.
i like to harvest when most trics are milky with a few amber. i dont want to have to wait an extra few weeks and let the tric go past their peak in order to get clean smoking buds, so i make sure they get starved out at the end.
Interesting... I've pretty much run Lucas for the last 10 years. Looks like Lucas is balanced for slightly off-white ash.
Keep it Clean!lol
I noticed your name is The Clean Game, yet I noticed that you admitted to feeding with chemical ferts earlier in this thread. Is that a typo? Or some kind of irony you're trying to send out to make the organic growers laugh?![]()
