Honey mixed with fulvic acid even citrus juice in the last 2 to 4 weeks of flower

If not running all organic I switch to organic at least 2 weeks before finish but still keep feeding the plant she only gets a 3 or 4 day flush as I want all the flavor I can get.

I normally run a perpetual cycle so I havn't flushed a harvest since my soil growing days, and usually get good flavor as far as I'm concerned. I really want to get a bottle of klearex this time, and give it a try. See if I can taste a differance in the flavors from usual. I am also running floralicious this cycle since the girl at the hydro store gave me a bottle to try out free. I have been running the Lucas formula with GH flora nutes. I've ran several of these genetics with this formula in the past, so it should be a good comparison. What I will say appeals to me about the floralicious is that it has humic acid, and sea kelp in it which I've wanted to try in the past. I believe both are supposed to be really good for he plants.

There isn't a lot of information on flavoring cannabis. Most people strive to find a strain that naturally has the right aromas and flavorings. Since I've been talking to pipe tobacco smokers, I been seeing lots of debating about flavoring there too. However there is a lot more information there, possibly because of its legal status.

Anyway tobacco is usually flavored with rum, scotch, or brandy and to a lesser degree food grade essential oils like vanilla. The way its done is through a technique called infusions, which can be as simple as soaking a coffee filter and covering a jar with it for a few hours. You need to be careful using fruits because the sugar and humidity can feed mold. I think as cannabis becomes more acceptable more peoples will play with flavorings.

Doesn't yellow light cause more terpene production? Which effects smells and flavors? I try to eliminate yellow light but the bulbs I use have enough. Honestly, I think if you have the right PAR you will get great taste and smell.

Terpenes are resins, they are your essential oils, which give you a whole array of different fragrances. They can range from piney smells (pine sap is a terpene), to skunky-sulfur smells, and every other smell in between. I'm not sure what spectrum(s) of light is ideal for terpene production, but I would guess bluish wave lengths. I've heard using metal halide bulbs, which have more blue in them, allows for more of those tasty smelling oils/resins to come out. So in other words terpene production should be encouraged, they are responsible for making your dank smell dank!:D

I've been wanting to toy with adding some MH light to my flower room. I don't think I'll be able to till I move and expand a little, but I'm thinking about a 1kMH to go with my 1k hps. I'll slap them on a light mover, and get the best of both worlds and more light.

That would be wicked. I've never tried mixing in MH but I would love to try. Hortilux came out with a dual bulb with both HPS and MH tubes in it. I'm going to try it next time I get a 1000w bulb. I wish I had the grow space to run that set up you're talking about...someday. I even thought about running my HPS until about week 6 to bulk my plants, then switch to a MH for the last couple of weeks in efforts to squeeze out some more of those tasty oils and resins before harvest.

Pick the right strain from the right breeder and grow it fully organically in quality soil and flush before you harvest.
