Is there anything that inhances the taste of canabis, like any type of nuts or anything?

Yes. Growing naturally and organically without the use of chemical fertilizers makes the best tasting pot. Just like it makes all the best tasting fruit and produce at the supermarket. I certainly don't pay more for organic because it tastes worse!
Some will say "yeah molasses will sweeten your buds". It might. but its an indirect effect. the molasses molecule is processed in the soil by the soil microbes, not in the plant by the plant. There is no sugar or anything else "sweet tasting" in the buds you will smoke. If they taste better because of the molasses its just a result of the plant being of optimal health and its flavor really coming through.

so what your saying is that molassesdosent help in taste?and you saying that molasses dosent really help in growth of buds and or the plant?if not what increases tricomes and bigger buds?because they say molasses makes more tricomes and biggens your buds..i dont really know because i berly read this molasses shit and im already 4 weeks into flowering{and im growing out side}so what will increase tricomes and make myy bud more ponteit.

I think the idea is that it helps sustain a healthy microbe population, which makes healthier roots and better nutrient intake. Healthier roots= healthier plant= healthier buds. If it works, I don't understand why so many people who use it don't use it in veg. too.
Also, you can get a gallon of plant molasses at a nursery for $14. If you're going to use it a lot, might as well buy in bulk - way cheaper than grocery store, cooking molasses.

No thats not what im saying at all. I didn't sat any of that lol. I said it definitely helps. Theres no question that it helps. I said the question is how much how often and mixed in what way.

Exactly! They dont use it in veg because they think its just for flowering. They think that the molasses goes up the stalk and into the buds and makes them sweet. "There are no buds in veg so whats the molasses for?" they say. I was just trying to explain that thats not exactly how it works.

Tried, tested and true molasses does work.Half of the budding ferts(organic) u buy are just organics with molasses!!!!!!!!! Stay away from the synthetics and don't pollute the ground or your body! Buy some organic bud fert or use organic veg fert and add molasses!

Yes , yes, and yes. Or brew your own compost tea with or without molasses.

I read enough smoke reports here about trainwreck being really harsh, coughing up a lung, etc. and I took my first bud off the finished plant, put it in the window 'til dry a couple hours later and it was as smooth as if it was cured a month. Great stuff, Grandmas.

ITSGROWINGLIKEAWEED im already in four weeks buddng will it still help?

Yes give it some molasses lol. 1 TBLS per gallon is good. Bubble it or don't, it works both ways. Your 4 weeks in, so do it now and then do it again in a few weeks and if you have sativas and they flower for a while, hit them with it again. Are you in the ground outside or in pots? If you're in the ground I would use more.
"do you know how to increase tricomes and or fatten up buds?"
Yes I do! Give the plant as close to perfect conditions as you can! Just enough of everything need but not too much. Or... grow strains that make lots of trichomes and bigfat buds lol. There's no magic wand....

alright but i looks every for molasses in world wide store like vons smart and final sams club and stuff and i still cant find it were can i get grandmas molasses?

Go to where the flour is in the baking stuff. Look for "baking" on the sign. Then look for honey-like jars, find Grandma's with the Yellow label, about $4 at most. Same at WM, in the baking section. Here's the bud I harvested today that I called Molasses bud. Or ask someone. I know Von's has it along with every other chain, very common.

thanks did you notic any diffrence when you started useing it?
