Question on Flavor after changing over from horizontal growing.
Started really V-Scrog about a year ago. Fiunalized the op about 6 mos. ago. Somewhere along the line my old familiar strains lost a ton of flavor & smell in the finished product.
During the process I've taken to some rather heavy trimming / training along with nute changes.
Really noticed a definate change an d went back to more organic nutes & medium.
Through all this.. the only constant has been the cure process. That has not changed.
Oddly,, fairly recently I sexed out a couple plants. Topping and flowering for sex I let a couple females grow out (smaller versions). One was V-scrogged (screened / trained) and the other basically just grown "straight-up" and moderately side-lighted because of size. The "straight up" had the (way) better flavor I'm looking for... The other.. flat as a dead fart (very little flavor). Unfortunately it means little since they were different strains / phenos. But..... ??
I'm getting considerably more quantity from the V-SCROG... but the quality (IMHO) has gone to crap. I'm totally confused about this sinve presently I'
ve reverted back all to when It was good except for the training and Vert. screens.
Anyone else had issues when comparing Vert to Horiz with their known strains? Is this common? What the heck is going on??
All input appreciated... (Cause I need help).
