You could also clip another bud or two, let them air dry (no oven), and test smoke again. If the taste and buzz are satisfactory for you, then hey, that's all that matters isn't it. :alien:

Patience. You must be very patient at this point. Clipping a bud or two to test was not a bad idea just to test it out. But they are not ready yet. You will be able to tell when the trichomes turn amber by comparing them to the pics you posted this week. This is the point in the grow where most growers (especially newer growers) make the mistake of cutting too early. If you want your efforts to pay off, trust me, wait longer. It will be worth it. :alien:

Hi dab, you said 0 nutrients; Do you use organic soil?

Do you have the lights on for 20 hours at a time? Or is that info above not accurate?

Looking back at your previous weeks, it it seems that you may have been giving them too much nutrients. The plants may not have been taking them all up at that point, but now that they are into the flowering stretch they are likely soaking up the unused nutrients in the soil; leading to the burn.
