Bud size has nothing to do with flavor. Strain and genetics do.

The reason we don't read the entire post, as most are filled with bull shit and misconceptions.

Bigger buds no what about healthier buds? When fruit is healthy it's sweeter, when flowers are healthy they smell sweeter and produce more nectar, so wouldn't it stand to reason a healthy plant would taste better than an unhealthy one of the same strain?

Can we see some of your buds?

My buds are irrelevant to the discussion at hand. I have threads you can look up where I have posted my grows. I'm a self admitted amateur I haven't grown nothing special yet but I get better every time.

Obviously if you can't grow for shit, your yeild will reflect it as well. If you have great genetics to begin with, your a step ahead of the game. Who would let an unhealthy plant continue to grow with out fixing the issue? Certainly not myself. I have 6 patients that depend on my quality results week after week, year after year.

Will you just answer the question? I'm not saying anything about allowing an unhealthy plant to continue I want to know if you think, given the same genetics, that a plant that receives more and better nutrition and is properly care for will have a more robust flavor profile compared to a plant that wasn't as well cared for? I understand we're shooting for highest quality but we're discussing hypothetical here not what you're doing in real life.
 
Of course a shitty grown plant vs a properly grown plant the outcome will be better. But smell and potency comes from genetics NOT additives or nutes. They will both smell the same, have the same bud structure, but the properly grown plant will always come out on top.

I use bat guano in flower, I guarantee you my buds (I do NOT flush) don't taste or smell like bat shit.

You just don't get it.

I'M NOT SAYING YOU CAN ADD FLAVOR.

I know that adding Faygo to my plant won't make it taste like Faygo.

Smell and potency are a combination of genetics, environment, and nutrition. So what I say is true, by using certain additives to ensure your plant is happy and healthy in turn it will produce more potent, stronger smell and tasting flowers!

You seem stuck on this idea that I'm claiming you can ADD flavor to a plant which you can't do you can only do your best to ensure the best of it's natural flavors come out.

Edit: When I say additives I mean like Sweet and Raw. @Dr. Who gave me a recipe for homemade Sweet and Raw which he told me is used to liven up the microbes in my soil, producing essential minerals for my plant, in turn ensuring it would stay well fed in the organic soil I had it in, which in turn would result in the lemon kush having a more stand out lemon flavor because it was really well cared for. I'm sure the whole process is a lot more complex than that but it's simple enough to me. Better care = better product, no way around that.

Smell and taste are ONLY from genetics. NOT FROM FVCKING ADDITIVES.

Holy shit people. Don't you fucking guys read up on shit before you start growing?

It doesn't seem like it. I'm out. Pour all the sweeteners in your pots and res all you want. It ONLY feeds the microbes, NOT FOR FLAVOR!!!!!!

So if I put my plant in a hydro set up and give it JUST what it needs to survive and flower vs the same genetics given a wide variety of nutrients they would both be of the same quality, given environment was the same?

Don't lose your shit here I'm asking legit questions and you're avoiding them by repeating yourself over and over again.

A well cared for plant will have a better flavor, no? So given your nutrient line up you can bring out the best your plant has to offer by offering it the best array of minerals available.

Maybe I'm not explaining myself clearly. For the record let me repeat myself, I'm not saying you can add flavor but bring out the already natural flavors the plant has through manipulation of nutrients. A basic nutrient regime vs a more complex one would yield different result right?
 
Yes I am growing organically outside. Havent added anything to em, just letting them do their thing. It would be easier to deprive my plants of light if I were not growing outdoors but i think some dark trash bags might be plausible.

I will try to get out to my garden and post some pics tommorrow if I can get there before it starts to get to dark out.

I am not telling him to flush . he is asking to make yellow leaves . from my understanding . I am betting his plant is far from mature and he will harvest much to early if feeding them properly the leaves will start to lose color slightly . unless he is feeding it beyond the suggest amount then I did suggest running plain water . like I s aid we need a picture to give a accurate answer .

No my plant is actually vest cloae to harvest. It is mostly an indica being grown outdoors w no feeding schedule or anything like that. Many leaves have already yellowed and been plucked but not all. I will try to post pictures tmmw if i can get out there while the light is good.

Because this discussion pops up a lot. People go "Oh well if I don't flush my plants then the chemicals I was feeding them with will be present in the buds."

That isn't the case, regardless of where chlorophyll is flushing is just plain proven wrong and you shouldn't do it.

I misspoke when I said chlorophyll was absent in the buds but flushing the plant isn't going to rid your plant of this issue, only a proper dry and cure can rid weed of any harshness.

This is only my second grow so I'm far from an expert but I'm growing outdoors so I didn't think flushing was going to be very effective since the plant is about 7-8 feet and the root structure probably goes super deep. I havent added anything in veg or bloom, completely natural grow here.

No not at all. Ive fed plants and not fed other's they all taste the same. You're wrong bro, let it go.
 
Your looking in the wrong direction,there are no secret tricks or magic sauces that will give your buds that little extra zing !

Nothing but good solid gardening practices will help your plants finish well,feed them normal bud nutes right up to the last day,no flushing with a special sauce,no pouring gallons of fresh water thru them,no tricks with the light schedule,just 12/12 & a steady nute regime is all you need .

When you start looking for ways to enhance shit is when plants go silly on ya .

Well others claim they have flushed and not flushed and it made a difference. Is their claim any different than your's? "Well I did it and couldn't tell a difference" is hardly an answer. And how am I wrong?

My statement is literally: A well care for plant with a proper nutrient regime will have better taste than one that is not so well cared for. It's a matter of nutrition, environment, and genetics, not one or some. DemonTrichs is telling me that only genetics matter when it comes to taste and potency and that is wrong, your care and environment for the plant must both be adequate as well.

I'm not saying you can add something to your plant to give it flavor, I'm saying you can give your plant proper care and nutrition to ensure it has the best flavor profile viable. Which is patently true, I don't have to prove that. What am I wrong on? You need to read the whole thread and not just assume man.

I can put a clone directly in my native soil and it will taste tee same as if I put it into a 5 ,gallon full of ffof. I grow way better bud then you. Believe me or don't, this is America, you can do whatever you want.

Purple strains typically have better (or more pronounced) flavors due to chloraphyll dying off at the end. The cost is a bit less potantcy. Less chloraphyll when starting the dry and cure will always be a good thing for flavor, I would think.
