Bud swelling technique. Great lighting, great environment, not to much food, growing experience. The 4 do's for nice big bud. Nothing else works.

Should I do bud washing?Thoughts on bud washing? Our area has been hammered with smoke and ask for a month, and I can see it on the buds. The idea scares me, even though i have seen a lot of videos on it.

My harvested weed smells amazing, but tastes horrible. I'd say a bad chemical-like after taste. I thought it was due to poor flushing, but I flushed the 2nd plant for over 2 weeks and the 1st plant for 1 week. Not sure what caused this... Overfertilization? Something else?
