I run a lot of different phenos to find the smells I'm looking for and just keep mothers.
That being said, I saw the video with Kevin jodrey talking about different inputs effecting flavor. The part that has me confused is that he claims that judges at cannabis cups could tell who had used Bud Candy by tatse.
Also bontanicare sells sweet in a bunch of different flavors what would the point of this be?
I really have no interest in doing this as I prefer to just find naturally nice pheno to keep as a mother. That's being said either Bontanicare is ripping people off making so many different flavors, and the judges were lying about being able to tell which buds were grown with bud candy or it's possible.
I don't grow in dirt or outdoor much so I won't be trying anytime soon but it's interesting to see.
As far as why people in legal states aren't doing this, they kind of are just in a different way. I've bought several "moon rocks" that had definitely been flavored with some artificial flavor, I could taste it in my bowl for a week. They had Pina coloda, and fruity flavors, I tried a few and all smelled and tasted like some sort of nasty air freshener. I can't say for sure about flower but I've almost positive I've had atleast one gram of flower that tasted too much like an orange, to the point it was gross. I don't like artificial flavors I suspect these were all flavored with cheap terpenes.
