ya.. it was out door.. fertilized w/ fish shit traps from a pond.. there was a series of problems i had this time.. it got rained on and i harvested a tiny bit early(like 4 days or so, no big deal).. i shook em out good.. had em drying in the garage w/ a fan on em.. a couple days later it was really windy and they got super dry.. i didn't get the cure i wanted either.. i tried curing it in a larger air tight bins and had trouble getting the RH to even out.. don't use a hydrometer so i was guessing based off curing in smaller jars and i was wrong haha.. it cured for like a month and a half.. but not quite right.. it wasn't all wet or anything though.. i'm pretty sure it even steamed up the glass even when it was really dried out..its hard to say now that its gone ha.. hiccups considered, it really wasn't bad, it just had hidden moisture in it i guess.. makes sense... i never did like smoking off the branch though ha.. i clean the piece every couple days.. but first rip would steam the shit out of it like permanently ha until it was cleaned..Sounds like you just had a crappy batch, those effects seem to be from the bud having way to much moisture, which Iv'e observed causing the bong to steam up and give a very harsh hit. Some growers like to smoke bud just off the stem, and I can understand why, but for vaping it needs to be properly dried and cured to not have that "funk". Did you say this is your home grown having the problems? How did you grow it?
With my herb now I am getting no residue besides tiny particles of offwhite after extended use. If plant matter gets through it's more greenish/yellow. I don't think that really matters and I think we are all talking about the same thing. Just clean your piece daily and you won't ever see anything!
