Yes but if you add too much banana peel tea it will make your bud taste like banana, and they sell nutrients to make grape bud more grapier.

you can bring out flavors that are already present with different growing techniques, but you aren;t going to get a grape flavor out of a strain that doesn't already have that genetically in it.
organics and different nutrients can bring out different flavors, and even colors, ones that are already present in the plant, but like I said, you will NOT ever get a jack herer to taste grape-like, nor will you get a blue dream to taste skunky.

Yeah i understand. But what about the people who used too much banana peel tea and it tastes like banana.? And you can taste certain nutes if added at the end of harvest...

I used bushmaster once. Only once. Worst thing I ever did. I used gravity that batch too. The guy at the hydro shop gave it to me for.free and said it was awesome. This was years ago. It ruined my batch. I even tried using super thrive to bring it back. If I only knew about rols then.

Out door can be influenced by surroundings. Grow near a pine thicket or in the middle of honey suckle. Peppers can cause a spiciness. I say you could grow mint or peppers or a small pine indoors and influence smell and taste.

If you say so, not sure how that works though.
who feeds peppers to their plants?
whitebb2727

I don't either. I was merely stating that plants will take on the smell of their environment. Anything I have planted near pines ends up with a hint of pine. Anything near honey suckle takes on a little bit of the smell and taste. People have reported growing next to peppers gives a slight spice note to it. Environment can alter terpenes.

I don't agree at all. If that were the case, if you have multiple strains. Each strain woiuld chnage the flavor of the next. I have companion crops in my grow. My last round I had peppermint , lavender, rosemary all chilling in the flower room. Not one of them changed the flavor.

WHAT ARE TERPENES AND TERPENOIDS?
Terpenes appear naturally and abundantly in humans, plants and animals, often to deter parasites. Similarly to flavonoids, terpenes also emit a strong smell and flavor. Terpenes are volatile molecules that evaporate easily and contribute to the aroma of the buds. Research has discovered that terpenes are psychoactive and contribute to the overall effect of a strain. They show a wide range of effects, including sedation, anti-anxiety, anti-inflammatory, and many more. Perhaps surprisingly, up to 30% of cannabis smoke is composed of terpenes and terpenoids.
The difference between terpenes and terpenoids is that terpenes are simple hydrocarbons, while terpenoids consist of additional functional groups. In nature, simple hydrocarbons like terpenes are often the building blocks for larger and more complex molecules, such as steroids, pigments and vitamins. In cannabis, terpenes and THC share a biochemical precursor, geranyl pyrophosphate, which is developed in the resin glands of the plant and then evolves into the cannabinoids and terpenes.
Just like many other strong-smelling flowers and plants, cannabis develops those terpenes to attract beneficial insects and to repel predators. Many factors, including the climate, weather, maturity level of the plant, the used fertilizers, the soil type the plant grows in and even the time of day have influence on a plant’s development of terpenes.
The great variety of aromas in cannabis strains is already impressive, but the most fascinating property of terpenes is their ability to interact with the other active compounds in the plant. Terpenes can modify how much THC passes through the blood-brain barrier. But their influence reaches even as far as to regulate neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin, altering their rate of production and decomposition, their movement and availability to receptors.
