All my bud ended up looking great and good smell but taste kinda harsh and not like it smells with black ash as well.I dumped about a 5 gallon bucket of clean water into a 7 gallon fabric pot only had a chance to let them sit about 5 days after the flush because spider mites were attacking. Why dose the bud tast harsh I did use some 209 spidermite solution once about 5 days before the flush and a little neem oil pretty close to harvest

Neem is nasty stuff to smoke I'd bet,I'd say the other isnt very tasty either
Bet u didn't bud wash it either after spraying for critters, and assuming you had critters, bet they taste good too

You could look into a water cure, not sure if it will help, maybe try a sample?
No wash and the spray I used in my water is mostly rosemary
Water cure?

How to Water Cure Your Weed - RQS Blog
Water curing weed offers an alternative method to air curing that is much quicker. Although effective, water curing does pose some major downsides.

Bugs taste like shit.
Literally. Don't forget bugs shit in your plant.
Add Neem oil to that mix and oooof.....
Here's a look at how nasty that can be.
H2O2 wash/Fresh water wash
Did a wash today with H202 warm water followed by a fresh cold water wash. Here were the results. As we can see the H202 took care of the bulk of the crap from the ash and such. The fresh water rinsed the 1st wash off and offered additional cleaning. But look how clear that second bucket...

These are outdoor plants so your wash wouldn't look that bad. But you would have tons of shit taken out of your buds helping the taste and smoothness.
Flushing your plants won't do what you think it will do.
You should do this fresh after you cur down correct. Because mine is Jared up for few weeks now

Take a little underdeveloped marijuana mix it with some insect carcasses, feces, and webs. Then add in some insect repellant and neem oil...Hmm sounds like a tasty recipe. NOT!

If you used any amount of neem that close to harvest, I guarantee that's why it tasted bad. I love neem, I use it at least every two weeks up until buds form, but the smell is disgusting. One thing you can do that helps is to rinse off your buds, if you're careful it doesn't hurt anything. Set up two containers of water, one you add one cup of h202 per 5 gal (I think that's right, I have it written down somewhere, double check that though lol) and the other is just plain water. Gently dip your freshly cut buds in the h2o2 first and leave them in for a min or so...if you have some kind of issue, like PM, leave them for a few more minutes, then carefully dip them in the plain water to rinse them off. Hang to dry with plenty of air circulation until the water evaporates. You won't "wash off the terpenes." Terpenes aren't little thingy's that are sitting on your plant like dust that can be "washed off." If I had used neem close to harvest, I would probably add a third bath with some baking soda added to it, which might help get rid of that off flavor. You'll be amazed how much filth comes off of these buds in the bathwater.
Appreciate it I’ll try next crop on a few branches first. Do you do this all the time or just if you think you might be a little more dirty than normal
