Anyone had a pepper-y aroma in a pheno of somethin...

Chamallastarted grow question 6 years ago

Anyone had a pepper-y aroma in a pheno of something normally very tasty? The other plants are really quite nice, very Kush-y - had a few popcorn buds in the vape - but one has this really stinging black pepper aroma to it. Will this turn into something more pleasant with curing?

It might not get sweet unless you add molasses, it's cheap and it's bio . You can get rid of any kinda plant taste with curing some people even mess up their bud by putting boveda packs in their jars too early. It's pretty normal to get a bad taste with no curing though, so i would stay optimistic. It's all good it will probably mellow out into something citrussy and og or something if I had to guess.

Watercuring should be nie for "harsh" strains. I let you a link to an article here.......https://www.growweedeasy.com/water-curing-how-to........And Molasses should smooth the taste too. If you flush your girls for 2 weeks the taste would be better too. well happy flushing and harvesting, and tell us the effects

??When should I do the last defoliation ??I hear a lot never to do anything in flower that would stress the plants,pistols are showing but no solid buds. I want to hear what you guys have gone through. I’m kinda worried if I do I might hurt them more than help. Thank you in advance for your time.

Should I remove some of the dense foliage as I start LST, or wait? Other suggestions appreciated!The Durban Poison and Jack 47 are very dense, with tight nodes. I’m beginning LST this week to get more light to more of the branches, but should I prune some of the excess foliage? If so, how do I decide what to remove? Thanks in advance for your help!

Auto defoliation during flowering?My autos are 40-44" tall from top of soil...they seem massive or maybe this is normal. Question is, is defoliation acceptable throughout flowering for large fan leaves? All my pics are post defoliation not pre. Thoughts? Thx in advance!

Defoliation in mid-late flowering Can I still be defoliating in week 5-6 of flowering? The buds seem quite leafy and a lot of the lower sites aren't getting light, I feel like if I removed some of the larger fan leaves on top it would let the full cola grow thick bud sites rather than just the tops?

Removing popcorns There is some real advantage on removing those little "popcorns" in order to increase the main buds size? Or will it delay the growing of the buds in general? It is second week of flowering, auto.
