Depends on nutes. . All strains grown with botanicare looks and tastes the same. I have a friend who does hydro Chem with gh flora a&b . Looks good, smells good, big buds, but harsh as fuck. Poor yields. Living organics in comparison. Much stronger smell, better taste, more potent, so smooth you can take a 2ft bong rip and not cough.
I also have a theory with bong size vs taste which so far I have been right. Small bongs 1 ft or less will make weed taste shitty. Larger bongs 15 inches or more , weed tastes far better. I use a 20 inch old school 1st Gen heavy glass and a 15 inch more old school Jerome baker camping bong (no base). Both converted to glass on glass. Buds taste better out of the heavy glass than they do out of the Jerome baker.
Well, not to burst your bubble, but the guy I was talking about with his hydro... GHE only. It's still pretty much all you get here. It's not the nutes mate. It is how it is tweaked during the grow. Basically boils down to knowing your individual strain and pheno like the back of your hand. That is his refrain 'baby steps, baby steps, baby steps' which means constant tiny little tweaks. Each feed was a bit different.
And I smoke bong ONLY. Have been doing so for 12 years now. I've owned everything, glass, perspex, tall short fat thin you name it. My favourite bongs are 16 OZ volume total, so they are small. I do, however, only use bowls imported from Israel. To me it's all about the shape of the bowl, and the Israelis get it just right. One bowl, a single perfect hit, it HAS to pull through all the way or you taste ash. Israelis are bong-fiends of note, trust me on that. And then there's the little things like how you cut or crush your weed, if the pieces are exactly even in size or not, how big the individual crumbs are etc.
I used to get a smack upside the head for making a bong section wrong or packing the bowl wrong LOL. My house-mate used to bring in a few hundred grams of 'Cream' (non-commercial charas, which is hashish hand-rubbed off a LIVE cannabis plant, and only the old ladies rub that quality, it literally takes a lifetime to learn how) twice a year straight from the Parvati Valley in India. The deal was I get to toke as much as I want or could manage, but seeing as he supplied it for free I had to clean bong, make mix, and make him a sandwich. I got 'trained' quite well after a year ROFL...
I MISS CHARAS. I have actually banned the 'C' word from my house I miss it that much. I've had some commercial grade or 'Jungle' charas, rubbed by youngsters. It is shit. Cream will melt in your fingers, you have to keep it in the fridge or freezer to be able to work with it, then work FAST. I had to pay 100 USD per 'tola' of Jungle Charas. Tola is 10 grams. What a rip-off. If you've had Cream, you can't have anything else.
