How to reduce the smell of cannabis (nonmechanically)
Calcium sulfate is ground up into a fine powder and suspended in the fertilizer, it is not usable in its natural state besides as a ph adjuster and can only be asorbed by the plant only with organics. The microbes which live off the organics and die in chemical envirnments convert the sulfate into sulfide and it can then be absorbed into the plant via the roots. It is by this process plants get the majority of their sulfur nutrition which is one reason chemical beasters do not really smell. It will enhance the smell and the flavor of cannabis.
I am not really sure but I think I read glucose absorbs moisture somewhere if that is one of the main ingredients of hand cream. If that is what I am thinking of do not get it on the stem of foliage or it will draw the water out and kill the plant unless you scrape it off and some of the flesh with it. I have feed my plants corn starch in a random experiment but did not really see a difference. Most sugar is converted into starch and then used as food by the plants which I am sure you already know.

That being said: When is the best time to feed glucose to the plant? Do you apply to the root zone or is this something you apply through foliar feeding?
Here we go again then Fermant :smokin:
A fully developed/realised form of THC, the only way i know to get pure THC involves some joys like boiling petrol. :o
Without uv-b THC is formed by the pre-cursors being compressed together as the glucose in the trichome crystalises, about as efficient as Thomas Newcomen's atmospheric steam engine! :p
Please could you make some more sense for this confuse stoner :stoned:
"I am interested in altering the smell of cannabis not actually eliminating it"
"ways of manipulating the plant that would eliminate the odor"
Have you ever look up research about Hemp? flavouring was big with them last time i looked at any.
We mix Glucose with water & then feed to the roots, the plants get this once a week during flowering.
This link is a JTR at 7weeks into flower & has done very nicely with being fed with it :D

Yes, exactly. :) I would like to tailor specific smells for example making a plant smell like citrus (even if it has not been bred to smell that way.) If with current knowledge that is not possible, that is okay. You have given me much more to think about right now.
It would also be advantageous to be able to feed a plant certian nutrients that would reduce the smell. From what I have learned from you, that should be possible by feeding glucose, correct? This also should have the added benefit of increasing potency. Not a bad side effect, if you ask me.

No but I will look into it. If you have any links on hand I would appreciate it if you could add them to this thread. I will also see what I can find and add it here.
I did a search in hopes of finding a supplier for pure glucose. The closest I could come was a liquid glucose product that is actually largely dextrose. So, where does one get pure glucose?
Do you know if any other sugars are used by cannabis and if so, what for?
FERMENTATION is an important process that allows nature to bring out the "tasty" in everyday life.

low tech, urban camoflage = dryer sheet against the exhaust fan. The heat of the air being vented activates the dryer sheet and masks the odor. Personally I detest the stench of dryer sheets, but anymore, it's a normal part of the urban smellscape.

Cool trick rodekyll. Not exactly what I'm looking for though. Still cool.

Isn't the odor/taste (concentration of terpenes) dependent on genetics? And glucose is a the product of photosynthesis so (good sun=better taste?)...

In part: It would seem that some genetic lines are predisposed (due to breeding) to more effectively(?) manufacture terpenes and more likely to manufacture specific terpenes (hence specific strain smells/tastes) I would like to discover which terpenes are responsible for specific smells. The smell and taste are also affected by nutrition and enviromental factors. This is the point of this thread. To determine possible routes for altering/enhancing/reducing the smell/taste of any strain of cannabis through means other than breeding (during the growth phase of an individual plant.)
It is my thought that the terpene content of the cannabis plant may contribute somehow to the high experienced and that in altering the terpene content of the plant one could tailor the high to more specific effects than by strain selection and timing of harvest. We already know that smells and tastes elicit memory specific responses in the brains of individuals. What sort of experiences could be created by tweaking a plant to stimulate the mind to reproduce specific states accociated with certain smells/tastes.
Thats all for now.
FERMENT it's what we do.

I know some people recommend putting some molasses in a foliar feed or in the nutrient solution (as a sugar supplement). I used it early on in the growth of my one plant, but I didn't really notice much effects...But I am thinking about retesting it to see if it can improve cell production/growth.
