What should I do with this?

Good grown, good genetics improper cured gives also shitty tasting weed. But if there is no good taste or smelling in the genetics, curing will not magically add flavor .

@oTwix asf ar as airy buds go your trying to light up too much plant/too much space with too little light. The LED you have is probably 135 real watts and the 3x 100w LEDs are not 100w LEDs.

For a 4x4 area with HPS you want 600w, with a really efficient LED you can do it with 400w ish. But with cheap LED you want at least as much if not more as HPS, so HPS would be a good choice on a budget comparative to those cheap LEDs.

As a side note, I am far from the best grower here. My lighting is too weak, but it is a vastly higher output than yours. I use a 400W high pressure sodium supplemented by 2 90W ufo leds. Each of those ufo led's are close to equivalent to your galaxy hydro because they are the real wattage and not the fake wattage that galaxy hydro reports. And the 400W high pressure sodium is 400W and hps is the gold standard of growing good bud. If I had a 600W hps I would get a lot more yield. But even with my lighting I get 4-6 oz's dried and cured from plants that are about 30-36 inches tall at finish. I turn them to 12/12 to flower when they are 4-5 weeks old and about 12-14 inches tall. When flowering the lights are kept about 6 inches from the tops of the plants.

Glad to see someone else running a 400w + led setup. I'm running a 450w viparspectra ( 200w actual draw) with my 400hps and I just yielded my first plant and got 4.2 ozs dry off it! Couldn't believe the yield I got for using one of the weaker power hps. Supplementing with lower watt led definetly seems to make a big difference . The quality was superb on top of the awesome yield. I'm afraid to try changing things up although in considering running a 400 hps andMy. Side by side during winter time to help keep heat up in my tent during lights on. I've heard people have had good results that way

So, after reading what all you guys said. I gathered this information. Well since no one directly answered my question. Idk if I just didn't ask it right. The question was basically, How do I save this plant. Gave a bit of a back story and didn't really get a direct answer.

But I decided to let it go tell yesterday. I had flushed it really good like once before I posted this. Then ran a shit ton of water through it like twice before harvest. Trying to get it to use up all the stored starches and sugars. (I seen the yellow run off gradually become less yellow each flush. I'd flush it tell I didn't see any yellow. But when I went back to flush it again there was more yellow run off. So that prompted me to flush it again. Which would have been at least the thrid time) Trying to get a decent taste. With the other plant, I broke it down to a two-part drying. One I had trimmed and everything left it in my kitchen with relatively low humidity and decent airflow. Knowing it would dry fast. Not knowing it would or could destroy the taste/smell. (Which smell like grass kinda and taste mildly like bud) From what I gathered tho from you guys is the drying part could have fucked up my taste. So the other one I left the fan lefts and trim on, and dried them a bit higher humidity room with less airflow. And what I've gathered is amazing. The smell is outstanding. I left the fan lefts on for 2 or 3 days then cut them off. The bud was still damp a bit to the touch. So I've left it hanging for the rest of the day into the next. Then decided to cut the buds off the stim and let them sit in a decent size plastic like cookie tray. for a day or so. Then put it into a jar, burping it every few hours. So far the smell is still there. I think me cutting it off the stim might have been a bad idea.

But anyways with the other plant (shown in my pictures), I chopped it down yesterday. Cut the fan lefts off and barely trimmed it. I plan to let it sit for at least 5 days or longer before doing anything with it. My question now is. Do you think I'll save this plant? The smell is absolutely incredible. Frost all over it. I'm just really really hoping that someone can tell me how to get this plant to taste good. Because I have a decent amount coming from it. I know it's potency will be fine. I just want something that tastes good as well.
I'll post pictures and weight of yeild if anyone is intrested.
Thanks again for any replys

Sorry it's not the best picture

Thanks for the reply

Hop over to the curing forum, 1000 tips to get tasty weed.

I would highly recommend a 600w HPS for a 4x4. I run 16 plants in 4x4 with 600w HPS and average around 1oz per plant.
