Can I save my clones?

[highway1965]

I just finished harvesting, drying, and started curing my buds. First off this was a clone of a plant that was grown in dirt and had not such a great yield but tasted alright.

This plant over dried within 3 days and now has been curing for several day and has no smell (besides a slight hay/mildew smell... very faint) and has absolutely no taste.

I think I will have to dump the whole batch.

Problem is that I have second generation clones from this plant that I am worried will have the same lack of taste and smell.

Is there anyway to save them?

I keep the ph in check daily in my dwc systems. Have plenty of light And air movement. It is a papaya strain that was originally started from seeds.

Any ideas?

Why would it dry so quick at 65° and 35% humidity? Could that be the problem?

Maybe your buds didnt fill out, if there small or fluffy it will take only 4 or 5 days. Also it may appear dry but stems are wet once jarred your buds will become wet. Also if you use good soil you should not pH. Read up on it there's a few treads on here bout it

I am growing in hydro, not soil that's why I ph. But I don't understand why there's no taste? And if it is going to affect the clones that came from it?

Oh the mother was grown in dirt, my bad. I have a awesome strain and there is no smell or flavor.....just the strain for me.

Did it have a mildew smell at all? Mine is a faint smell but it definitely does not smell like marijuana. Its also kind of harsh.

I am more worried about my clones growing now. Id they are going to come out the same I am not sure if I want to put all the time and energy in it.

I'd say it was jarred wet or powdery mildew.

So if I dry my new batch properly should it avoid that?

"This plant over dried within 3 days"

the hay smell -is the chlorophyll - the green taste, or minty smoke. you said it dried in 3 days, it dried too fast and the chlorophyll was trapped in the buds. Next time control the drying so it takes about 5 days at least - maybe the fan was too direct or you had a dehumidifier.

You can process it into hash with ice water method, that will prevent the smell from crossing.
