Well.....I must say all mine taste the same.....to me at least.....they all taste like an off version of cigerettes so I'm afraid I'm no help there.

The SMELL however.....pretty strong from the MK and sort of piney smelling. That's a strain I've always enjoyed the scent of.....somewhat unique but very enjoyable.

I'm wondering if your plants being stressed in the last grow has something to do with the lack of smell and taste.

Ps...When I dont' flush enough my weed takes on a nasty sort-of "metallic" taste to it that I hate. The weed also seems more dry, almost over dry and crumbles easily.
