It's pretty crazy how well aroma does carry over to bubble.I have a plant that smells like onions when you first pop the lids, like Sunday's pot roast bubbling in the crockpot. That carried over to a ball I made a couple weekends ago, but has already started to mellow, like you mentioned.

Wow, great job to all...Great looking Balls (thought I would never find myself saying that)!!!
I don’t care what anybody says you cannot beat bubble hash, ice water hash call it what you will Kief to make hash. I’ll never forget the first one I made, left it sitting on the parchment paper, next day overnight it went from a perfectly round ball to being flat on the bottom like it was melting @ room temp...I have researched the hell out of ice water hash & cannot seem to come up with a good reason why it makes such excellent hash??? Not just the terpene profile which is excellent, But the “melt”...& aging effect.
I don’t do it all the time, but it is well worth it. Also for those that throwaway the herb when done making bubble hash, don’t -unless you’re fortunate enough to be a larger scale grower...I’ll take my 2-3-4ounces & dry on top of a Cardboard box, Then gently crumble in the palm of my hands wearing med gloves & Dry sift using 160 µm screen bubble bag, silk printing screen whatever you have... and squeeze another 1 to 2 1/2 g per ounce out of the herb...Great for your one-hitter vaporizer or making a mechanical compressed lower grade hash
Well it’s time to make some Nepalese temple balls again for me...Quote “outside protective layer of resin fused into a crust so perfect that it can stand the depredations of time and nurture the aging evolution at its core...Envision a spicy tropical fruit cocktail with subtle earthy undertones taking over your olfactory senses as the resin breaks apart reluctantly exposing its dark red melted caviar like texture, the long contained aromas bursting out with an explosive force.”

And Frenchy is right...
So I’m challenging those words with my 111 day old
Dumdumtangiematic hermaphrodite seed grow, what else do u do with Hermie seeds from the original Tangiematic autoflower grow ( I ended up with about 50 Hermie)
Dried Bud pics below...higher potency & exotic color than the parent, but the size was only 1/3 of the parents
(no idea why???, maybe someone can clue me in!)
Regardless the fruitalatious
smell & warm complete body high from head to toe is like the outflow winds of an incoming storm surge smashing into your whole body, which is extremely interesting as the plants on purpose went 30 days past peak Trychome milk... to about 30-70% red amber throughout the various buds...(even more interesting the high had no couch lock, the Sativa dominance was in full effect I guess?).
(They ended up with two different genetic profiles, but kept the dwarfness)...
((Note: did something different on this grow, @ day 55 I added 200 Watts UVB (80Wpower pull) -2 Reptile bulbs to my Led light mix, I wanted those Sativa dominate plants to think they were back in the mountains getting sun burned, so they‘ed put on the THC sunscreen...Left them on for 35 days 18/6 along with the LEDs (56W/SqFt)...@ day 90 I went all Red Led spectrum ~20W/SqFt til day 111))
Well time to get going on the
Spicy Tropical Fruit Cocktail
Dumdumtangie Temple Ball
WTF...
Post pics when done
