Important question...need help!!

[420somewhere]

Thanks for the response JDOG!! I realize whatever I do it won't make it as fruity as something like "Juicy Fruit" or "Blueberry," I was just curious if it worked.

This is my first real grow (helped me sister twice) and it's all bag seed so I don't mind experimenting with a plant or two! Oranges are my favorite fruit so I think when I grow next spring-to-fall I'll order some Orange Kush seeds, but like I said... All I've got right now are 11 outside bagseed plants.

What about the curing? Does using fruit peels change anything? I know you can use them to add a little moisture back into your too dry bud, but never thought about using it to flavor or influence aroma...

Well I've got some plants going and I've been wondering about different things to try since it's my first go and I am open to anything that I would learn from... Alright here's the proposal, and remember it's strictly a stoned idea :stoned: So think of it as one... I was wondering if there is anything you can water your plant with or mix with your water that would alter the flavor, or smell, or aroma of the smoke, or even the colour (you know, like turning the piece of celery you brought Rating: 5

My understanding is that you can make you plants taste and smell like virtually anything if you are growing in hydro. Vanillia? Mint? Mocha? Lavender? I have not experimented with this but have thought about looking into it.

I would like you to keep in mind that this is just a grow from bagseed. I'm experimenting, I WANT to try things! In the future I WILL grow strains that I hand pick, but for now, I am looking to do whatever I can to influence my final product in a way I would like! And I think/hope there is still some hope on this one!

I just came across something in the "old Overgrow faqs." It was under a question about "How did they get different strains different tastes?"

It said it depended on the levels of I think 5 substances. One of which was Limonene. Naturally occuring. Rinds of fruit. Lemon peel, orange peel...Limonene is what gives it it's scent! Limonene can be found purely in Orange Oil (oil extracted from the rind of an orange).

Wouldn't watering your plant with some Orange Oil in the water add Limonene to your plant? I am taking a leap here and I would say Limonene is at least partly responsible for the citrus smell and flavor that comes with some strains, since it is FOUND in citrus fruit!!!

The best thing you can do is get some Liquid Karma nad some sweet along with some Budswel for the sea bird and bat guano.
But the sweet has cane sugar and some other stuff that will sweeten up the buds.
I just started using it along with Liquid Karma.
I wouldn';t do the fruit peel thing.
It ruins the taste in my opinion.
Natural MJ flavor can not be beat.
So why try?

[420somewhere]

Im just curious Jdog7000, have you ever tried using any form of Limonene to supplement your plants?

I am not grasping how Limonene would "ruin" the taste of marijuana, since what it does for the plant is give it the citrusy smell/flavor?? It's natural, and it is found IN the actual plants. I will take a giant leap and say in the citrusy strains that Limonene is at "high" levels. (I use "" because I am not sure what a "high" level would be, but obviously Limonene is dominant in those strains or it wouldnt taste/smell the way it does!)

OK here is a list of strains and there fruity flavors.
Of course BlueBerry
Mango
NYCDiesel(Grapefruit)
God Bud, Purple Urkle, some Romulan have a grape flavor.
Orange Kush taste like Oranges big time!!!
So any orange strain.
They have Banana, Strawberry Cough ,Apple and so on.
No need to flavor your weed.
Just grow the right strain with organic's.

HUmmm NIce fruit salad

I absolutely agree. I tried it a couple times and was not impressed at all.

[iwantFUEGO]

so if you give ur plants sugar, it will bring out theyre natural flavor?

[stinkyattic]

Yes, exactly.
The flavor comes from carbon-based aromatic chemical compounds.
Sugar is an excellent form of available carbon.
If you give your plants as much carbon as they can use, you will maximize the plants' genetic potential to produce these aromatic compounds.
I recently started adding Sweet to my ferts and have noticed the smell of my flowering girls is already marginally more pronounced.
