Unsmokeable QWET, really bitter, not pleasant to smoke at all. Any suggestion guys? I dont really get what I do wrong//
Method: Fresh Harvested Weed / 97ºalchool in freezer, weed in Jar, 30 sec and 2 min wash, strainer, coffee filter, let evaporate room temp. Purged x2 in vac. machine. May, the fact that the plant was not flushed yet, affect the end product? Not the first time my QWET is bitter.

Leave or repot?
dropped seed about halfway of pot. It’s now growing, it looks like seedling stretches quite a bit to surface (grow question a. pic) Should I leave or transfer to new pot? it’s a 26 litre pot so quite large for auto, the only size I can transfer to is 11 litres. Dry nutes in soil

Had to bring in a Photoperiod cream and cheese by seedsman with my autos. My question is If i switch to a 18 on 6 off light schedule will my autos be affected? They were on 20/4 one is in veg mode and one is flowering. If I switch to 18/6 for all will my autos suffer? Thanks

What would you like to see out of my diary to improve it? I don't want to post 50 pointless pictures in veg. I really want to document the heights, growth and special nutrient needs because that is the most help for future reference for people. How much stretch is always good!
