Thanks Penny. I'll keep it in mind as I'm watching trichs Flash.

Any ideas why these taste like shit? It's a harsh ass chemical taste in the back of your throat. More pronounced on a big glass rip still there even in a lil Pinner. Concentrate has been good, this is the first I've sparked the flower and I'm absolutely heart broken. It tastes similar to but worse than the last run which leads me to believe it's a systemic problem. First run was great last run sucked this run sucked. They look good or seem to anyways. They smell great, even in the jar right now it's pleasing on the nose, it breaks up nice and the scent explodes but the taste. 
I don't feel flush is at all related to it so let's not open that can of worms. First run no flush 2nd run long flush this run skipped last feed cycle. Taste and flush amounts don't correlate.
I did wash the last batch they seemed much nicer after the wash, better presentation, better nose appeal. Water was pretty clean.
I guess my thoughts at this point are my well water or my nutrients. I drink my well water, I've never tasted anything reminiscent of this in it. I changed from Botanicares natural/organic line to the mineral based line after the first run. Is this my problem?
The G Bomb is almost done and I would desperately like to save it. Thoughts?

Could be the new nutrients, is that the only thing that's changed since the first good run?

I was frequently buying ro water for the first run. Although not every watering. I haven't as much for the later runs. Also all the space bucket plants were well water and the first nutrients.
I don't think tap water is causing it, that's all I use.

Me either. I really didn't anticipate a nute selection being able to influence taste this badly. Seems more likely to be a problem on my end but the plants seemed healthy. So maybe it is the nutes
Could be, I switched to Dynagro last run and I think I have tons more taste and aroma as before.

I looked at their stuff when I noticed you talking about them. Lots of goodness packed into one bottle haha. Guess my mind is made up to give it a try. Thanks.
I'll check the trichs tonight and see if I have time for another light tea feed with old nutes after a flush. To get them through the finish.

Sounds like a plan Turbo!

G-Bomb 3
Various buds
Stuff is flopping over everywhere now. Very few clear trichs left just water for them today. I'm hoping they don't taste like shit too they smell so good nice strong pine and skunk with some good citrus notes when you touch them.
I'm a little heart broken though my G-Bomb 3 will have to be revegged neither of her clones took, the one in the Dewey was the only one that didn't go figure. Had a bunch of nubs but never made a root. She's my favorite and the one that really did the training proud she's just a ball of nugs on top of her stem.
That's strange about the taste. But organic is supposed to be best. I agree my buds dont taste like they smell but I think that's a strain thing? Either way they look great man

No just grabbed one out during a burp. It sucked so I grabbed a different jar from a different plant. It was the worst in a pipe, least noticable in a Pinner joint still sucked even in the bong. It's almost a metallic taste but more like dirt/gravel than metal shavings (Mineral nutes?)It's not noticable on the inhale but it grabs the back of your throat after the exhale. There's not a lot of other flavors going on along with it, pretty bland. But the scent is good and increasing......wtf.
my wife and buddy have both verified my concerns it sucks but doesn't look/smell like it would.

Man, that's no good! Sorry bud. At least it has bag appeal. Some of the stuff I sell looks like garbage, straight up but smokes decent. Hopefully a good cure can help.
Oh I did notice a real cool chart on the you tube at work today....
It explained how...
Lockout causes a peppery bud.
And no flush leaves a "salty" taste
... there were. Few other but it was on mute. Interesting for sure I'll try and find the link

Buds look fire! Man your plants are beautiful I love the way the buds are so well shaped. You can truly see that a bud is firstly a flower! Love it!

Thanks Flash! I loved getting to watch the different bud shapes develop in this run it was a nice surprise because they all vegged so evenly.

Here's the veg side of things. Seedlings are raspberry diesel, purple Trainwreck, and chemdawg all from Humboldt Seed Organization via seedsman. The clones are the strains from last run and some bonsai mother's of my bagseed Barbie.
