I understand that growers are aiming for maximum harvest yields, but some of us care about where our meds come from, what they are grown with and the taste and odor that they have.

I once heard a comment YEARS ago on OverGrow that 90% of KB buds were, according to one old school grower (who was widely respected on OG) "shit". He said that the perverted ways that most growers grew the herb and what that meant to ANY plant's ultimate makeup was undeniable. At the time, living in Schwagville USA, I had a hard time believing him that the KB nugs that I lusted over in High Times and on the web were "shit". But now that I've had the chance to try more than a few strains on a daily basis, I am beginning to see what he means.

Even if a bud looks great, lots of triches and all that, that does NOT mean that it's what it should be. At least to a snob like me :thumbsup:
I agree with what you say. Looks are just the beginning. Its all about smell and taste, and most of the dispensaries are selling "work" that has no flavor. The problem is most people have never smoke or seen much A+, or really know what to look for. Most people go by name, or looks. I have sat in a dispensary for hours and watched people buy what i thought were average buds, and pass over the stuff i think is the A+.

I went to Colorado Care Facility , and all of there buds had very good smell. The blue cheese smelled like blue cheese. The kush reeked of kushness. The nugz i get from my caregiver all smell like their name. The crunchberries smell like fruit berries, the oregon grape smells like grape, the sour star smell like sour lemons. And you dont have to stick your nose in the jar and break open a bud to smell it. If someone cracks a jar, you smell it from across the room. Buds are perfectly manicured with no leaves or stems at all. Never bagged, only stored in jars. All organic. I hate bud that looks good but has no smell or flavor. I would rather buy bud that doesnt look as good, but tastes, smells good.:rastasmoke::rastasmoke::rastasmoke:
