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?

U been curing for over two weeks?? First of all, make sure its not mold. Mold leaves a bad weird taste after smoking it. So make sure its properly dry and doesnt have that mold whiff to it when broken up. If thats fine and u didnt spray it with anything like neem oil during the grow move to next point... Second- Sour D takes ages to cure, most of the Chem Dog family does. 2 Months is more like the time u need on that one my friend. I have Sour D im smoking now I harvested last april- And its only been the last few months its settled down and is now very very smooth and easy to smoke. But I rushed the dry, so I admit its partly my own fault but even in years when I dried slower, It still takes longer than 2 weeks to cure. Give it more time and make sure your burping often for another two weeks at least.

@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.
