hot damn and yipee and so forth the 3rd time was a charm these beauties are wonderfull in smell taste ,trics .....just perfect and wow what a high!!

funny/cool thing though...i did a side by side comparison of 2 jars. one was cured for a week or so and the other was sampled and smoked out of daily and when the cured bud was smoked....no noticable difference at all! i'm sure that will ruffle a few feathers but thats what happened.

This might sound like a whacky question, but do you remember what pH you were running at during flower, especially the last few weeks? I've had some experience with the same thing and I'm not sure if pH was the only factor... but as soon as I figured it out and dialed it in... I got the danky dank strong smell back in my in my harvested buds.

Okay so check this out, my harvest before last I had a similar issue with lack of that typical dank smell from my buds. My logs show that I was running a relatively high pH range @ 5.9-6.1. Then in my last grow I was running at a similar range and noticed the same thing... lack of smell in the middle of flower. I noticed this time though, that there was a strong smell durning veg, when I was battling pH swings. Because the pH would rise so much day to day, I was lowering the pH to 5.1 and letting it rise to around 5.9 over a 24 hour period. Then by mid flower the pH was stable at around 6.0... so I left it... but the oder was gone. So on a whim I started lowering my pH down to 5.2-5.5 and low and behold the smell came back!

Now I can't say with any certainty that this was the one and only determining factor, I know lots of people run high-range pH grows producing heavenly aromatic buds. This was just my experience and wanted to share.
