Smoked some of the Blueberry Cheesecake yesterday. Ive realized that its not so much this hay smell that has been the issue, its the smoke itself feels very harsh. Its hard to describe. Its mettalic, chemicaly, it has a tingling/burning sensation that just makes you want to exhale the smoke right away. No deep inhales, no holding it in. no coughing. No good "tickling of the back of the throat" none of that. As soon as you inhale your just like yeah no lets exhale that and try another. I can smoke half the joint and then I call it quits. So this I realize now is the main symptom. Its happened with 6 different harvests. Several different strains, many phenos of each.
At this point I am doing everything by the book. Organics, No major deficiencies, full peak trichome maturity, cut in dark, 10-14 day slow dry, 1 month cure. 62% RH.
The thing is I've been sharing with friends, and people either don't notice it cause there used to crap, or they just don't care, or they are afraid to give constructive feedback. And even then, they don't grow so they can't connect it with whats going on. I wish I could just send it to some canadian fellow growers and some pros can pinpoint what it is. At this rate I don't think i can keep growing much longer. Its so disappointing to put so much time and money and effort into them. And they look and smell so good growing. And then its this same disappointing harsh smoke. At this point I'm not even looking for advice or ideas on the growing aspect. Ive spent 100's of hours researching, asking, reading.
BTW, the potency is there. I can smoke in my bong, or vape it, or make cookies, and get wrecked. But its this harsh taste and feel from joints that is just killing me. Im a joint guy, love rolling them, love licking my lips, passing it around, seeing it get super resiny. yeah NONE of that with my stuff. I have done about 6 harvest now. Totaling over several pounds.
Il make another thread on this issue directly I guess, but just wanted to fill you guys in since I finally smoked some of the Blueberry yesterday. Il keep smoking all the different strains and will see if I can pick up on any more details that can help pinpoint this.
