These topics are hilariously sad and simultaneously confusing. The apparent future of the human race is vomit inducing. We are getting damned retarded and lazy.
I only have room for a handful of plants and i take the time to FIGURE SHIT OUT. What's everyone else's excuse? You wanna brag about your plant count yet you do every plant the same? Cure every bud the same? You don't want to learn knowledge, you want to confirm ignorance.
5 plants, vanilla extract in soil. 3 uptake it, 2 did not. Hmm, not all strains are the same up top. Their roots must be identical though!
5 cut stalks put in flavored water. All 5 uptake.
Food coloring in soil: no uptake
Food coloring in cut stalks: obvious dye uptake. Do it. You might actually learn something about how your plant functions. Some fill out the tips first, some fill out near the stems first.
4 plants, molasses in soil. 4 plants uptake it.
4 plants, Welch's grape juice in soil. 4 plants uptake it. Can pick the juiced bud out of a lineup, darkens color.
If it didn't work for you, you used too little, used too early, have genetics that don't uptake the same exact things as others, or you are unable to detect contaminants.
Contaminants... Thats the kicker. Why would you want to smoke grape juice? Or vanilla? It's fucking disgusting. If your bud smells like nothing at all, it will now smell like grape juice. Or vanilla. Or about half of what you dump in the medium. It will not turn into Purps.. It will not be pleasant smoke. It will not taste pleasant like drinking juice. It tastes like burnt sugar, and effects your respitory system in the worst ways imaginable.
If you saw my extraction equipment from these adulterated sugar buds... Thick black crust that has to be removed with hydroflouric acid. You want burnt sugar coating your lungs? Shit that isopropyl and acetone won't remove ? Weeds natural sugars don't do that at all.
Aside from health, it blocks Cannabinoid uptake and gives you a headache. Its the opposite of real weed solvents (terps/phenols/thiols/esters). So even if you're a placebo effected mongoloid with no sense of taste, this affects you negatively.
The flavors in weed are fucking meant to be vaped. Jesus made them shits. There is nothing else on earth that can stand up to or replicate weed flavors. Essential oils from other plants taste like poison, nothing like they smell. I've tried half of them.. Unsmokable. Some are actually poison when smoked. Nothing in real weed vapor is poisonous or irritating, only overwhelming.
So who's using this bullshit fake dank methodology? Hydroponic growers. Dispensary growers. You can take your Strawberry Final Flush Cough and shove it up your asses plus tax. And your Sweet Shitrus, and Buttcandy. And your laughable fake ass Terpenez pinesol bullshit. Half these fucking "nutes" on the chemical pimps shelf are "flavored" (scented to mask your other chems) Walk into a dispensary and all strains smell like hay, except Strawberry Cough, Purple Kush, Blueberry Haze, Pineapple Express Lemon Kush. This shit is not hard to figure out. They used to spray weed now they Doak it up through the roots. Thats why these products exist, for scummy growers selling to ignorant people. That fucking perfume made for hydro growers is worse than any random shit you could use. They put some sulfates etc and call it a fertilizer but everyone scummy enough to use it uses it as a last week flush-in.
Such a divide amongst pot quality in developed countries. This flavored weed nonsense baffles true organic growers. Why why why.. Make a shitty product worse? I'd rather smoke chlorophyll than non-cannabis adulterants. . When is the last time a cup of koolaid stunk up a house? How could ANYONE ever believe its an improvement? Reality check yourself, if you've even considered adding non-cannabis flavor to Cannabis. Nothing can taste better than the real deal. I never smoked a bad strain from an organic farm. Bad weed doesn't exist when you keep it natural. Only good better and even better. What kind of bullshit are you growing to even consider putting "enhancers" in weed when it's very obvious they are perfume products for pesticide laden haybail weed. Like, what additive is going to smell stronger or taste better than clean weed? This scam industry known as the hydro store has really fucked up an entire generation of growers. Adding bottled canna nutes in search of flavor. Completely backwards...
So yeah i know you want photographic proof or some shit. The proof is in your garden. Sacrifice a plant and then you'll know, yes it's very easy to contaminate weed with non-weed aromas. I am sick of being told I'm not smelling Final Flush. I am sick of being told I am not tasting burnt molasses. Table sugar is a simple carb. Same as many, many many scent molecules.
Since no one else will shame these horrible growers who are ruining entire legal scenes, I guess I will keep dropping these perpetual reminders on these stupid forums where the lies proliferate, from people who have never changed a thing in their own garden to learn anything new.
If you've never smelled fish bud, then just don't contribute to myths that soil doesn't effect flavor. Fish used early tastes like gross cold blue chocolate. Fish guts used late tastes like... fish guts.
You want to get some real nasty imagery going? Well when I started vaping,I stopped using animal poop until I found out why some bud was smelling just like shit on the last hits. It was harvested at the end of day. Night harvest isn't about Temps or whatever. The plant is pulling from the soil during sunlight. Nutrient levels drop in soil during the day. Want proof? Harvest one plant during the day, and one at night. And find somone with taste buds. When you grow with shit the weed is so dank you cant smell the shit. The vape revealed it though in the final hit. There are things in cow shit that don't break down, and pass the slight aroma and taste of cow shit into the buds. Bat guano makes mango flavor. Only because it's what fruit bats eat. And it breaks down completely.
Can we start to deduct the right and wrong ways to tune a strains flavor? Grape juice smells like grape juice and taste like poison, organic amendments smell like organic amendments when used improperly, and create new flavors when used properly (in soil that's actually cultured with the correct bacterias, which most are not due to repeated visits to the chemical pimp)
