No arguement here, haven't seen any indication of nutrient deficiency, and the plant seems happy and healthy.Quote:

Getting ready for the taste tests.
Step one: Attached the identity of each on the underside of the jar lids. The lids will have to be disassembled to reveal which is GO, which is GH, and which was grown with traditional organics.
Step two: Jars were mixed, spun, twirled, and otherwise confused.
Step three: Jars were randomly labeled "Thing 1", "Thing 2", and "Thing 3".
Step four: Each jar in turn was cleaned and joints were rolled, with a single band for Thing 1, two bands for Thing 2, and three bands for Thing 3.
Step five: One of each of the three things was placed into small bags, to be used for testing.
In a nutshell, I don't know which is which. All I know is that all the Thing 1's are the same, all the Thing 2's are the same, and all the Thing 3's are the same. Once I have collected feedback about each Thing, I can open the jar lids and match the feedback to the nutrient.

Samples have been handed out, waiting to hear back for results.
So far none of the three are bad.
First report in: "Drummer Dude"
Thing 1 (Favorite) Strong grape notes. Best flavor.
Thing 2 (2nd) Very smooth, like an ultralight cigarette. Hard to tell for sure that you got a hit until you exhale.
Thing 3 (3rd) "Indoor, you can tell. Tastes expensive".
While waiting to hear back from hopefully a few more folks, I may as well take my turn.
I have Thing 1, Thing 2, and Thing 3. Nicely rolled and awaiting a touch of flame to spring to life.
Sniffing the joints:
Thing 1: Smells faintly of weed.
Thing 2: Much stronger aroma.
Thing 3: Between the two.
The smell of each is pleasant enough, so on this I'd rank them 2, 3, 1.
First hit:
Thing 1:Smooth, pleasant. Mild fruity flavor on the tip on my tongue on exhale.
Thing 2: Very smooth. No lung expansion.
Thing 3: Similar to 2, but more robust, and not quite as smooth.
End of round one. I'm not going to be sad to finish smoking any of this. And I'm very surprised how different the subtle notes of each tastes.
Thing 1 has a mellow, nice weed-like flavor. Sweetest of the three. Would be nice on a couch with friends.
Thing 2 is by far the smoothest. It is more like smoking out of a vaporizor than smoking a joint. On the down side, it shares the same drawback, in that it is almost too smooth to feel fulfilling. However this one is done would be best for people who tend to coughing problems.
Thing 3 has the strongest hints of floral. Flavor is of similar intensity as Thing 1.
To sum it up, thing 1 tastes the fruitiest, thing 3 tastes the most floral, and thing 2 has only a mild hint of a flavor. I thought I was going to be able to pick out the synthetic pretty easily, and I can't. I contrary to the popular opinion of many, I didn't detect an off flavor to any of them, and wouldn't mind smoking a couple of ounces of all three.
Oh, and yes, right now, the tip of my nose is numb. I'm feeling pretty mellow and okay at the moment.
My picks in order of preference, are 3,2,then 1. Since Dummer Dude rated Thing 1 (Favorite), Thing 2 (2nd), Thing 3 (3rd), lets assign 2 points for a win, and 1 point for 2nd.
That puts the current total at
Thing 1: 2 points (he liked best)
Thing 2: 2 points (we both ranked it second)
Thing 3: 2 points (I liked best)
Report from artist dude:
Thing:1: Strongest aroma and flavor by a long shot- sweet really.
Thing 2: Middle of the pack on aroma and flavor.
Thing 3: Least flavor and aroma, perhaps a little harsh too.
Overall though I'd say #2 and #3 were within about 70% of #1 and still very pleasant. : )
Running total:
Thing 1: 4 points
Thing 2: 3 points
Thing 3: 2 points
Three more results just in:
Dude at the river:
Ranked in order: 1,2,3
"Thing 1 had the best flavor, similar to thing 2. They all three taste organic, but thing 3 needed more flushing."
Lady at the river:
3,2,1
Liked the mildness and gentleness to things 3 and 2. Didn't feel like coughing at all. Wrote a little poem afterwards.
"Thing 1 is done,
Thing 2 is through,
Thing 3 is free
Hooray for me!"
Lady at the river's BF:
1,3,2
Liked 1 the best because it had a stronger taste, more substantial and satisfying. Thought that 3 and 2 were nice, but without the sharper edginess of 1.
Current Totals:
Thing !: 8 points
Thing 2: 5 points
Thing 3: 5 points
