Im tired sorry, im just lookin to see if any one has done somethin like this before. After you harvest and before you dry has anyone dipped their bud into something for flavor? dipped not soaked, in and out maybe .5 second total time submerged. im thinking maybe a cognac. thc loss would be minimal because its not soaking and only 80 proof...right? then you hang dry and cure like normal... any thoughts?

I wouldn't, the alcohol would dissolve the trichs
i thought about that but iso hash is made in 90% alcohol and soaked/agitated for a while a cognac is 40% and it doesnt have to be an alcohol. grape koolaid whatever anything...

If you wanna flavor the buds then just cure them with orange peels. You def wanna be real careful not to get the bud moldy, though. I've only done it to fix over-dried shit weed, but it does the trick and makes the smok kinda taste like oranges. I would put the orange peels (or whatever peels) into tea bags or paper towel and then put that at top of a jar of dried and cured (or overdried) bud and then put an airtight lid on the jar. Leave it for some time (30min to a few hours, depending on the ratio or buds to peels), then take out the peels. The buds should be more moistened, so you may have to do another dry/cure to it to get it smokable, but it won't take nearly as long as a harvest dry/cure.

I bet you could take just about any essential oil, like maybe orange, vanilla, jasmine, clover, idk... and maybe rub it on the lid of a jar and get some flavor into the buds by sealing it. I'd be careful not to get the oil directly on the bud. I guess I could try some with vanilla. That sounds good... Ill let you know if I try it out...

thanks cow, i think i might try 1 bud in cognac, ive had cognac cigars before and they were good. i really just wanna know what others have done. and as far as the essential oils i was thinking of putting something (vanilla beans,lavender,mint...dont know yet) through a honey butane extractor with the after harvest shake to try and make a flavorful oil i can add a few drops of to anything for a little extra kick and flavor. its just another thought in my head i dont even know if it will work
 
after you cut them off the main stalk soak the stem in whatever liquid, it will try and suck more up to the top flavoring your weed before it dies.
