So how do you get the best flavor out of your grow? I realize there are many factors for this, but I am talking about just the everyday grower trying to optimize what he can do from more experienced growers. I will use what I do as an example again because I am just starting to harvest my purple haze. First Off when is your bud ready to harvest. Is it when the Trichs are milky, or do you want to see an amber mix? I wait until I have roughly about 10% amber. Now does this have anything to do with the flavor or just what type of high you want. This is a picture of my bud (purple haze) when I just started to trim and dry it. I do believe that the strain has a lot to do with it but what can I do as a home grower to get the best out of the strain you have. My plants usually take between 4-6 days to dry before they are ready to cure. Once dry I will cut the buds off and place them into a quart jar filled up to about 2/3 full. The first two days I will burp them for about 15 minutes every four hours and then extend the burping time until I can't smell any of the weird ammonia smell. I like to give them a month to cure. I also grow without adding nutrients but will transfer them from a three-gallon pot in Veg stage to a 5-gallon pot two weeks before I switch them to flower mode to give them extra nutrients naturally. For the first time though I did try some Candy bud or bud candy on three of my plants to see the difference it might make. So with that can anyone tell me a better way to get the best flavor out of my grow. I better also add that my seeds are from ILGM. Thankyou
