Pretty much a noob myself, but it's taken me 8 plants to realise, too much nutes are far worse than too few, especially where quality is concerned.
That hay smell that nobody wants always seems more prevalent in plants I've fed heavily, and while the pros may disagree, it makes sense to me.
Darker leaves and buds surely means more chlorophyll, which in turn means at harvest time, it's got to get rid of all that while drying and also means your flush will take longer.
Like everyone who's new, I fired in as many nutes as possible in veg and bloom thinking; 'as long as it not killing the plant, it must be making it bigger?' But I couldn't be more wrong.
In future I'm going to let the plant tell me how much food it wants and try to keep the leaves and bud as pale/lime green as possible.
It's so important as the plant will lock out if it's fed too much, and it's a nightmare trying to get that pungent high grade stinky product , if it's full of nutrients and all dark and nasty.
So less nutes and a long flush and you should be golden bro.
Disclaimer: the above is my noob opinion and only reflects my experience of growing great looking bud, but which doesn't really smell and tastes shitty or of nothing at all.
