I only run organic, so I'm all about the taste/smells. I get friends in "the industry" that prefer to have me roll one of mine up than the commercial stuff they deal in, as my shiz is always super smelly/tasty, in another league, for them...a treat.

Among my favourites: DJ Short BB (the old cut, not his recent one...), TGA Subcool Plushberry, and the limited edition, THC-dom pheno of Mr. Nice/CBD Crew, Z7.

For dank smells, in general, by breeder, I'll always grab something from Mr. Nice, as Shantibaba knows his shit, and his genetics are always potent and always rock in the smell/taste department too.

they probably have you roll one because it's good and it's free :bigjoint: until I see published peer reviewed articles showing "organics" positively affect flavors and smells, and no offense as I'd prefer to grow organic if it's local and sustainable, it's bull shit claim. Plants don't care where they get the need nutrients, it's as long as they get them. can't forget a proper dry and cure (which I think is where most commercial growers go wrong if smells and taste are fucked, that or they grow shit genetics)

What strain do you think taste best?
Click to expand...
The one I am smoking... I am 100% satisfied with my smoke... to the point that when others bring over bud to share...
I tell them thanks but no thanks... "Just enjoy mine... when you are over, we smoke my stuff..."

They all think I have some inside pipe line to some Cali special....
No, just refined, cured perfect, dried correct... harvested with max Tric's, of Cloudy...
My Clones... have been refined, and grown... I do not ever care to taste or smoke anything else....
For that would be a waste....

Growing is a craft... get better at it... never settle for ok...
Good better best....
Never let it rest.....
Until good is better...
And Better is Best....

BTW: Lemon /NY Diesel cross refined to the perfect pot...
Finishes in 7 weeks...
I could never ask for more...

So why are you still growing from seeds again? You need to get better at cloning....
Taste is subjective, and subject to "Taste" ...
What I think taste's the best... might make you gag, and vice versa....

Not that I'm doubting you, but do you have any logs or pictures of this 7 week strain? Just seems it's either ridiculously fast or its being picked early. Eta, perfect Is subjective and you mentioned never settling so there seems to be a contradiction with your statements

As someone who grows for his own personal smoke, I find it crucial for my buds to have a strong flavor to it. I want buds that stink with that insane smell, and I want that smell to carry over to the taste. I also want a descent yield and potency, but I think that usually goes without saying. Anyways I have always found the strains that I like the best usually have all of these qualities. If not most of them. Personally, having an infinite number of flavor profiles to enjoy is one of the main draws for me to growing. I am always looking for something different and unusual to try out. I get pretty bored with a strain no matter how good after a while of smoking on it all of the time.

Over the past few years of growing I have ran into some really good flavored strains. Some of the best one's were as follows and are not in any order of preference: OG Raskal's White Fire OG, Alphakronik's White Diamonds, Cali Connection's Boss Hogg, Greenhouse Seeds Super Lemon Haze, Devil's Harvest Strawberry Sour Diesel, and Barney's Farm Pineapple Chunk to only name a few.

The Wifi was the best tasting OG that I have grown out so far. I only popped a couple beans of it, and I got a super dooper skunky pheno. This shit wreaked in veg of skunk. It yielded great for an OG. I got close to 3 0zs. under a 400w HPS. This shit was really frosty an had a really strong fuel presence with a skunky undertone. It was a really strong smoke that hit you in the head hard and would warm you up like a shot of whiskey. If you smoke to much you are going to sleep. I'm actually planning on growing this strain again during my next run.

The White Diamonds was something completely different for me. It had a strong vanilla smell to her with piney skunky undertone. The taste was kind of sweet. The buds were so damn frosty that kief would be everywhere whenever you touched the buds and both phenotypes that I ran into yielded well. This was a very nice strain to me.

I just ran the Boss Hogg and SLH last grow. The Boss Hogg was pretty similar to some Kandy Kush that I had smoked recently. It yielded pretty well too. The buds were colorful and crystal laden with trichs. The taste was like a strawberry-grape Bubblelicious bubblegum with a chemmy flavored undertone that was so good. This plant could have been grown out a whole lot better, and I still think it turned out great for me even though I grew it out like shit! Lol! The SLH I had grown before. I first received it as a freebie from Attitude with my 1st order of seeds. Needless to say I was thoroughly impressed by this strain, and I have to admit that I was impressed by it a 2nd time too. The 1st pheno was probably a Lemon Skunk leaning pheno because it had a strong skunky presence to her. The overall smell and taste was lemon pinesol with a skunky undertone. The 2nd pheno was lemon pinesol with pepper and skunk undertones. Both plants were so frosty the buds were greasy looking and feeling. I have to give GHS their props on this strain. Although this is the only strain I have grown by them though.

The Strawberry Sour Diesel was a nice smoke. She had a strong strawberry smell and taste with slight diesel undertones. The strawberry smell and taste dominants this strain at least in the pheno that I grew out.

Finally, the Pineapple Chunk. I grew this strain out twice with the 1st one being the only keeper. It was on a totally different level. It tasted like skunk spray with a slight pineapple presence. It reminded me of a lot of the skunk strains I grew up smoking around 95. I absolutely love the really skunky strains!

Really? I had gigabud that was 7 weeks ready, but wasn't anything to write home about. Just NYCD that a friend of mine grows would never finish by then, not sure on a cross that would be that quick is all. Eta I guess I'm just use to 9-12 week strains

For the last year I've been running a very tasty C99 that is finished in 7 weeks every time. The Blue Thai I mentioned has mostly cloudy trichs at 7 weeks, but I've been cutting it at 8 to try to let it bulk up. I just started with the blue thai a few months ago, so I need to toy with it more. I'm gonna leave a few till 9 weeks this time around to see how they do.

I'll also add that I am not talking about 7 weeks of 12/12 time, I'm referring to actual flower time, once the plant begins to stack nodes, and form pistils.

More on topic, I wanted to add that I've grown about 10 strains from Sin City seeds in the last year. Almost all of them have had superior flavor and smell profiles then many other strains I've grown over the last 10 years. Very distinctive, strong flavors, and tons of resin production.

Did you grow Sour Cherry Kush by chance? Got a pack of those that have been sitting in line for a while now .....

The one strain that I've smoked that most strongly mimics it's name in taste, would be Juicy Fruit. Got it from a Berkeley dispensary years ago. The Cherry Pie clones I get from a friend have a very strong dank smell and tastes similar to its name. I grew a TNT Kush that had a very floral taste that appealed to most who tried it. I'm more into effects than flavor, but of course I prefer not to smoke anything harsh or acrid tasting. I have a hard time picking up on all the different tastes, maybe I got a bad nose.

I agree..... to an extent. Using synthetics, the grower is in charge. You have to decide what nutrient to add, how much of it to add, and when to add it. This is mostly a guessing game until you have grown out a strain several times and have become accustomed to it's needs/wants. With organics, the plant is in charge, and works in unison with the soil microbiology to satisfy it's needs. The plant secretes exudes from it's roots, attracting different microbes to the root zone which bring with them various nutrients/minerals that the plant requires at that particular phase of it's life cycle.

So, while what you are saying about plants not differentiating between synthetic and organic nutrients is true, it is my belief that an organically grown plant will almost always come closer to it's genetic potential than that of a synthetically grown plant.

People seem to have this notion, not necessarily you St0w, that use of synthetics means death to all microbes. That is simply not the case. Unless you are dumping toxic amounts of fertilizer, microbes are still present in soil mediums and are still reproducing (people smarter than me in this topic and with much more patience have counted these things). Some fertilizers allow easier uptake, bypassing the need (which they aren't needed, see hydro) for them in the first place. I personally love organic methods of gardening, but with the caveat of it being sustainable, local and ethical. Using harvested bat shit from Peru, damaging caves, and using all the oil for transportation and packing isn't helpful (just one example, or land stripping for humic acids). Just as silly as a sommelier claiming they can tell be taste the region of a wine (they can't, no better than guessing) is someone claiming they can tell if cannabis is organic or not.
