I think my overall methods of both growing as well as drying and curing have improved substantially since my last successful MK harvest a little over a year ago, but I've never really had the buds taste or smell like anything. I grew some Purple Kush bagseed that had a great flavor to it, but the Master has left me somewhat disappointed in the taste. The stone is there, but I do enjoy a tasty bud and I feel its been lacking with my MK. I read on the kindgreenbuds(dot)com Strain Library that MK doesn't have a smell or taste, so is it just the strain, or have you guys had different results?
I germed 5 Dutch Passion MK fem'd seeds, flowered four of them and kept the nicest one that I haven't flowered yet as possible mother. (Don't ask, I was in a hurry). The four that I worked with seemed pretty homogeneous -- some a little bit more viney and stretchy, but all had what I perceived to be a grapefruit/pineapple smell as they grew. That smell stays after curing and comes through in the smoke for me. I love the taste and smoothness of MK. As I said, its my favorite plant to grow so far and a great tasting smoke -- but not necessarily the best high for me. Its very sedating. However, it could be that I let it go a bit long at harvest.

You know, everyone smells things differently, even if the plants were exactly alike, which we all know, they are not. For example, the White Widow that I have smells like rotting meat to me when its growing AND curing. Until about 45 days into the cure, the rotting smell starts to dissapate somewhat and it smells more like beef jerky or smoked beef. That's the only time I can tolerate the smell of that plant without gagging. If I didn't like the high so much, I believe I'd give it the old "heave ho" to the compost pile, just for that reason. No one else I've mentioned it to can detect what I smell. Makes me crazy.:tin foil hat:
