I still can't make quality product after three grows. I just don't get it!

So far I've grown Gorilla Glue, Sour Durban and I just put Shiva Skunk in jars a few days ago. They all SUCK. The smell is unpleasant and differs a lot from the sweet, intoxicating smell of quality weed. It's hard to describe. The high is very tiring (not in a good way) and makes me feel irritable and not much else.

I'm saying I don't get it because we're talking about three different strains that somehow all wound up the same. I've read plenty of guides and tips and my setup is fairly decent. I don't think I made any mistakes during my last grow: 250W MH air-cooled lamp (switched to HPS bulb for flower) at 16/8h and then 12/12, mylar foil, big carbon filter + inline fan, big fabric pots, everyday watering with NPK, CalMag etc. I topped and manifolded them ASAP.

What am I doing wrong? Could fertilizers be the culprit? I use BioBizz because it's cheap, but I'll definitely try another brand just to be sure. It's so frustrating, man. All this work and I don't even feel like taking two hits from a vaporizer.

"everyday watering with NPK, CalMag etc." u are doing this every day? watering it every day? I think I am misunderstanding you. I hope I am anyway. if you are giving it that every day you are going to have some real problems. those roots don't like being drenched all the time. you got to let them dry out a little bit. you are using synthetic nutes? you probably got a lot of salt buildup there as well. To many nutes is not good thing. You can push the hell out of them with the nutes. But not every day. Does it have a hay or grassy smell and taste to it? that is it not curing properly like many others have brought up.

If he's in coco he should water and feed "fertigation" every day at least once per day.
Not sure if the medium was mentioned.
