Yeah, there are things you can put in the curing jar to alter the scent:
Dried star anise (licorice)
Dried citrus peel
Dried vanilla bean
I like my weed just the way it is but I'll admit I've got a habit of tossing a couple saffron threads in with a particularly boring nugget for that earthy, delicate saffron scent.
ok check it this out people, I've really come to a conclusion, Just before i was going to do it (because i found out its not THAT bad) i changed my mind and added a little spoon full of sugar....And thank you Stinky as always for the lesson you know...You remind me of a teacher i had, but I started watering it with reg water and a dose of sugar and the plants react beautiful, filling up with thc and budding very well, and i use Lime Peel to cure.... Thank you All
OH yeah, plus i've decided if i want flavor, i'll just cross a strain with Bubble Gum or Cotton Candy Seeds....
Look out for...
Sour D x Bubble Gum = Jawbreaker
...trying to think if I've ever smelled saffron.Quote:

You've smelled it as part of the seasonings if you've ever had Paella or Arancine, or certain risottos. Also a really good Biryani will be made with a LOT of saffron.
It is a classic spice for rice dishes that are considered special-occasion food, and dyes the rice yellow as it gives that extra rich but delicate aroma.

The only possible way to alter the "flavor" (scent) of a flower from a cannabis plant is during curing like mentioned above or you can use smoke flavor-altering bongs.
This is a fact. Plants do not absorb flavors, they create thier own. If it were any other way around, imagine what hydro-grown bud would taste like! Have you smelled some of the chemicals used in hydro? Holy nastiness! If my bud tasted like Tiger-Bloom smells I would stop smoking...
Personally I'm in love with curing flavors. I usually add a small piece of lime and lemon to each curing jar. I wrap them in a little paper towel so the juices do not cause mold. Place the lemon and lime on the BOTTOM of the jar before the bud goes in. Any mold that does happen to form will do so on the paper towel first and I can react accordingly. So far I have never had mold.
Now as far as taste goes, no the smoke does not taste like lemon-lime. BUT it does smell like it!! BIG TIME TOO! Upon exhaling you can taste it SLIGHTLY but I think that's just from the strong smell...
Chemicals? But, but, my Tiger Bloom is organic.Quote:
