Hey guys. I grown about 20 plants now all different types. No matter what strain i get in the end it all taste the same and it sucks. Even the plants that looked happy the whole grow suck! When i take a hit i can hold it in forever and it doesn't expand in my lungs at all. You know what they say... No cough, no off!
I don't understand it because the buds look awesome and crystallized/sparkly... they just don't taste good and their weak. I had one plant(Cookies kush) that was actually pretty good, but it wasn't the bomb.

Does this hobby get any easier or do i just have a brown thumb? Any body know of any tricks to grow the dank bud??

a lot of things can mess up a grow. the first thing is to start with great genetics. you can never polish a turd. Finding those gems takes time and work, or cost big money to acquire. then, learn how to grow by just keeping it simple. grow till finishes, dry and cure properly

I bought my seeds all from Amsterdam so technically shouldn't they all be the bomb?? Amsterdam and weed is like Wisconsin and beer right? Or do they sometimes sell bad seeds and its just the luck of the draw??

just because they come from there, doesn't mean nothing. You need to find top BREEDERS and then you will get seeds that are regular or feminized, either way, both will have different phenos. ( like twins that aren't identical) you have to grow lots of seeds to find a WINNER. Everyone is looking for that "holy grail" plant. when you find it, you clone it over and over to keep it.

Could be how you cured it. If you dry it too fast, and don't have a way to get the humidity back up, it can lose flavor quickly. Btw, no cough is a good thing. Especially if the ash burns white. That means you don't have a lot of excess nutrients or contaminants left over from the grow.

Its pretty dry here in the winter and my buds do dry out faster then i like. i will invest in a humidifier

I already said i don't understand a lot about growing. thanks for stating what i already stated the actual post. lol Obviously your just a troll and your not interested in helping new growers out. That's cool. we can still be friends.
I do wish I was a professional grower like you were on your first grow. I envy you for that man. take care buddy!

I can think of two possible things. Either you are getting mediocre genetics, or you are harvesting at the wrong time. Also, when I grow, I smoke a LOT (like 6-8 joints a day). My tolerance gets really high. Maybe that's part of it?

It might be genetics. I just keep hearing how plants have to be grown JUST right in order to reach their full potential. I figure I must me missing something. I've gotten seeds from "I love growing mj" and the "single seed center"

No. In fact as somebody who's been smoking, growing and chucking the real skunk#1, real nl5 and a few other imho now lost strains back in the last century I know it's not the same weed, not even close, or at least I haven't found it yet and I've grown six or eight different skunks from all different breeders looking for it before I gave up.

I don't want to get into this circular debate, and I'm only saying this because you sound really discourage but it might not be as much your fault as you think

.. regarding the smoke from the 60s and 70s, if you were there more than likely you might agree, and if you weren't you don't know.

Everybody thinks the weed is stronger now, and technically it may be but I think most of it sucks just like you do guy, just my opinion

Op, I'm growing ilgm White Widow right now, what are you growing from them?

I graduated in the 90's. We used to get the best stuff for cheap in the 90's. It was all skunky back then. lol
