Thanks for the comments.

I'm not sure what people mean exactly when mentioning "Genetics". I order good seeds. These White Russians are Serious Seeds "genetics". You can see from the pics - five weeks and looking good. I've got certain parts down pretty good.

I've got everything going except the kick. The best stuff I've grown was the very first grow long ago; Dutch Passion's, White Widow, harvested exactly after the weeks recommended by Dutch Passion, to the day. That stuff was downright evil. But that was harvested do to panic instead of skill. LOL Ever since - I've tried looking at the mushroom heads for amber/clouds and hairs to no avail.

The last batch of White Russian; I harvested one tree at nine weeks and one tree at ten weeks and one tree at eleven weeks. I only had the three trees. I've been letting it dry-out or "Cure" for over a month. The buds did poof out a lot from week nine to eleven so I think week nine and ten could have been harvested too soon. I'm going try the testing this weekend. But previous grows of White Russian I've let flower for 14 weeks and beyond. The stuff harvested 14 weeks and beyond had the cat piss smell. The "sweet" smells of the 'Russian were long over. This most current harvest smeeled of cat piss/sweet mix with a lean to the cat piss.

I've tried other strategies with other varieties and combinations of ferts. As you can see from the pics above Fox Farm's, Ocean Forrest does a good job without ferts.

I have a feeling it's the point of harvest that's the problem. Do you have any other clues cause I hate wasting time trying to master this game.
