Hell yeah. I wouldn't bother to grow if it weren't about different type flavors and buzzes. I have a couple friends who act like they don't care about taste or really quality..it's all price (cheap) and just always having something to smoke. If they only knew lol I would have to shoot them
I know so many people that are in the same mind set as your friends....
I think creating a cross of very potent nuggs with a high yield, and a distinctly pleasant flavor is a good investment of my time.
I can change the taste by working with the terpenes that are found to be the best in taste. By working with the desirable terpenes, I can create an amazing flavor.
Cannabinoids to work with are Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), and Cannabidiol (CBD)
