My harvested weed smells amazing, but tastes horri...

@Roberts Yessir. I made sure to have runoff everytime I watered, especially when flushing. I sometimes even had a bit too much runoff and needed to clean around the bottom of the tent. 😅 @Benzels Yeah, definitely not mold. I've been quite afraid of encountering pests/mold and mildew, so it's definitely something I'd see, honestly it looks and smells great, just really lacking in the taste department. That's fair, I wasn't aware of that in regards to Sour Diesel curing times. I'm hoping curing does remove this bad-chemical flavor to release that flavor I know and love. The initial hit tastes great, but after blowing out the smoke, it's clearly got that harsh, nasty after-taste. Have been continuing to cure it despite the issues since it does get me plenty high, I'm just really big on taste is all. Thanks to you both for the additional input.

When you were flushing were you getting good run off. That is part of washing out anything In soil.

Note: -The journal has pretty much all information listed in regards to what the plants were fed every feeding. -Plant 1 has been curing for over 2 weeks. Plant 2 has just started curing. They both taste quite similar despite double the flush time and 2 weeks of curing on Plant 1. -The 'chemical-like' after taste I'm referring to, is not a typical good chemical-like taste that some strains have naturally occurring. (This is Sour Diesel and only barely tastes like it, but does indeed smell just like it.) -The drying and curing process both went perfectly fine as well.
