what do you guys do, if anything, to enhance the taste and smell of the cured pot>?
i had a new guy try some of my stuff. he liked a couple (gave them 8s, and was ok with a couple (rated 7s. he's an indica guy and i'm not.
). he did mention that one would probably be a 9 if it tasted better and had a bit better smell. he said that although each has a different high (which is why i have these 4 going at the moment), they all taste about the same and he would have liked them more with a better taste and smell. i
i don't think it's a bad taste . it's smooth. but he's right, the tastes are bland. in a blind taste test, i think i could identify one of them out of the 4. i stop nutes 10 to 14 days before harvest (2 or 3 waterings with no nutes) and carefully dry and cure. i tasted a couple of his genetics and one was ok but one was really nice. the exhale was lovely. i realize a lot of that is genetics but i have what should be great tasting stuff. he spends a lot of time on teas and soil mixtures which i'm not going to do. i should probably ask for a few bags full of his soil mix. lol
i started out using all kinds of products and mixing soils etc., looking for the best all around exhale taste/smell/high. these days, i use fox farm ocean forest and advanced nutes sensi grow and bloom and big bud. i keep the buds in ball jars at 60 to 65% humidity so the buds are spongyer than i usually see. i may let them dry out a bit more to see if that affects the taste a bit.
as the years went on, and as i only grow for myself, and being very lazy, i basically stopped working on taste and was mostly concerned with the high. in the old days, before i broke down and got a carbon filter, i actively worked to breed for lower odor plants. i have the mechanical abilities of a chimp and didn't want to try to figure out how to vent and filter.
now that i'm legal, and can trade with other legal folks, i decided to try to enhance the taste and smell. other than a good dry and cure (it's so dry here, 5 days is the longest dry time i've gone. i want it to take 10 days or so.) what, if anything, do you guys do to work on the taste and smell?
keeping in mind that i'm lazy, and medicated most of the day, i read for about 10 minutes and decided to get some bud candy. i bought some then i started reading, and it seems that this product will probably bring out some taste but it will all be the same and sweet. that's not what i was looking for. i wanted to bring out the natural tastes/smell of the genetic. i have some that smell great in flower so they should have a more robust smell when i open the ball jars as opposed to not getting a smell until the buds are cracked open.
i'm kind of high...
