Any idea why my weed isn't strong ?

I've just harvested 3 plants last month and.3rd week curing . Ive had a few smokes now that they are past the 2nd week . That said I'm not getting any real big high from any of the three . One White widow one Northern lights and one gelato og having the most thc of 25%.

As soon as I smoke any of the three there is obviously the high effect but very very very mild physically if I smoke enough it will give me couch lock and the munchies but no real "high" .

I harvested all 3 when they were ready swollen frosty buds mostly cloudy with about 10% amber , dried them wet for 9-10 days cured 2 weeks most of the jars are 65-69% humidity before burping. But pretty underwhelmed

I have just started growing last year and am on my third grow . My last grow was the first in a good size tent with a good light . I'm using a 480watt qb and the plants loved it throughout . Granted I should be using at 700watt for the 4x4x7 tent but I wasn't focusing on filling out the tent on this run and had plenty of light .they Stayed healthy right to 2 weeks before harvest until when leaves started to turn . Was watered correctly. There may have been some nute lockout in the last 2 weeks but at that stage the buds were covered in trichomes and continue to swell

wondering what to expect why my bud isn't particularly strong

I'm used to smoke hash but I've smoked a fair amount of weed and it was always pretty potent.

What would cause bud to not be potent bud when all the requirements where met

Genetics play a huge role. Also environmental conditions play a huge part. Different strains affect people different. Me I enjoy indica more than sativa so that is what I grow. Hunt around and find something that does the trick and learn how to master that strain. I hope you find what you are looking for.

Genetics. If everthing was done properly the last possibility is genetics.

Also not all NL, or White Widow is the same. And much of it is junk, and nothing like it used to be.

THC is also not an end all determinant of quality of the high. Its just one component.

If you want good NL5 go to AKBeanBrains and email him, and ask for a seed list. dankortown@gmail.com Hes got the real deal pre 2000 NL5, and NL1. Kali Mist. Williams Wonder, and others.

If you want the best Sk1 genetics go to Authentic Genetics. He also has pure Haze, but only about 1 in 1015 is a keeper, and it takes over 100-120 days to flower, and is best started under a 12/12 light schedule from beginning until end.

The Green Stash on Strainly also has the real deal NL5. The main suppliers of the original NL5 ( Sensi Seeds ) lost their genetics more than 10 years ago. If you notice they dont even advertise it as NL5 anymore. Only NL, yet they still try and fool you with their cannabis cup trophies displayed by the seed description.

Probably the best source of WW is from Mr Nice, and is known as Black Widow. But ive not grown it, and cant tell you the quality.

Also for me, And I dont know if you do, but Id run from Feminized seeds. especially of these old genetics. Out of 20 tries with feminized seeds, Ive never seen 1 of them equal the original genetics from either regular seeds, or clones. Some may beg to differ, but thats my experience, and Im sticking with it.

AKBB also has the pre 2000 NL5 x Haze, Black Domina Hybrids. Super Skunk hybrids. All pre2000 genetics that have been bred right, and had proper selections used, and preserved.

You also cant go wrong with Lucky Dog genetics. If you dont find keepers in every pack, youre doing something wrong. Theyre not cheap though. Same goes for Crickets and Cicada seeds.

Dont skimp on genetics.

Also if youre using the best LED Diodes, you wont need more than 650w for a 4 x 4 arrea.

You don't have it lifting enough weight. A good protein supplement, along with a balanced diet, and plenty of exercise, should do the trick. :p
