Post up some pics. But from what I gather from this post, your bad quality of weed is probably due to your lack of curing. It's really just something you need to go through properly AT LEAST ONCE, and you will understand.
What I mean is, weed is NOT GOOD after it is recently cut. Some people will tell you they smoke their herb freshly cut and some say it's good.... well I think that is just the 'placebo effect' getting to them. In that since they have grown their OWN HERB, they can't objectively realize that non-cured herb is just shit to smoke and really not worth the bother.
On my first harvest, I tried some quick dry bud from my plant, then each day while it was drying, and then curing, each day I would sample the bud. And I could tell that with EACH DAY of curing, the herb got better each day. The overall taste, the buzz, the smell and the herb even begins to burn more smoothly the longer it cures. IMO, I feel it's not even worth messing with herb until a minimum of 14 days curing. I think if one goes through seeing exactly how the cure effects the smoke each day, doing this exercise ONCE will alleviate the need to want to rush this final step.
NOW..... when I have a harvest, I don't even bother with all that quick-dry or smoking as soon as my buds dry. I JUST WAIT!!! I have some herb that I harvested early March, began curing it the 8th of March....... I won't even try it out until about the 29th of March. So that's a full 3 weeks AFTER beginning to cure, and close to a full month after harvest. But I KNOW it's not worth the bother to mess with it before that.
