I was wondering if there is any way to add flavor to your buds will your plants are still flowering. Is there any thing you could add to soil or water that would give your harvested buds a notable flavor or aroma? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Peace and happy tokin folks!

pretty sure it goes through the same process of flavoring tobacco, which happens after everything is already harvested.

there are some products available that claim a sweet, or citrus flavour, although i've never tried them. Check out Botanicare and Advanced Nutrients for product info.
 
i know this is an old thread, but i'd like to add that if you time it to where your soil is pretty dry before harvest....2-3 hours b4 harvest, pick your favorite flavour concentrate and mix into your watering.....the plant quickly absorbs the flavoring...then harvest...voila.

No, you cannot.

No it will not absorb "flavoring"

You can apply products to finished cured bud.. but why would you do that.

dumb guy...u cant do any of this plants only take up certain types of material.....the only way to get the best taste is too harvest within the 7 days period and too have a proper cure...some people argue about flushing but thts a hole new argument hahaha

Its my understanding that root cells are only semipermeable meaning they are picky about what they let in. So if you want to sneak in something unusual you are going to have to trick the plant or circumvent the roots. Now there are ways of disguising things to trick cells into accepting them. Anything with Insulin-like at the beginning of its name is usualy describing the disguise used to sneak it in.

Alternately the leafs might be somewhat more permeable. I haven't looked too far into this but I know that foliage applications are recommended for many hormones. Where leafs rarely come in contact with more than water and air they don't need to be so particular about what they absorb.

I'm not saying that I have a solution to your problem but maybe this little bit of speculation will help.

I heard once from a friend that someone he knew hung orange peel in his drying room with his drying buds and they absorbed the flavour and smell of orange

Not surew if this was a myth or true but im guessing becuase the the orange is a very potent smell and acidic that anything with a similar bio will work the same like lemons..... i wouldnt try gym socks though :)

Trying giving natural citric acids. Hawaii growers claim that the natural cirtic acid from mangos are intercepted by the plant. Sulfer is a great catalyst to citric acid because of its carbon building abilities after your plants metabolism has down in late bloom and you still need fruit size. Citric acid is the catlyst that brings the sulfer your plants, so without the acid. sulfer isn't able to function

Ive soaked blueberry extract on cotton balls and put them in a jar when I was curing and it worked perfectly. You could use any type of flavor extract imaginable.

Get a strain that has the terpenes (aromas) that you want.

I dont like all the shady dealers who will do things like squeeze a grapefruit over a bag of mids and sell it as "grapefruit kush"

What you did is introduce "balls" of humidity in your curing jar. Id imagine it turned your buds brown in less than 24 hrs.

planting a plant around other plants will conflict of the properties of that other plant..like blueberry bushes...usually in acidic soil but your plant will not taste like blueberries..maybe if you made soil predominantly out of blueberry bush waste then possible..but still even that is hard to imagine..strains that have properties that smell or taste like something is through genetics and cross breeding a verity of strains..just the same concept as how breeds of dogs were made...there are also labs that work to change the chromosomes in plants and manipulate them..but main way is through cross breeding strains. why most of the government strains like g13 or blueberry and bubblegum..cause it takes a professional and money to manipulate the characteristics of a plant...correct me if im wrong. i have heard things such as watering your plant with the ratio of 2 teaspoons of molasses to 1 gallon of water will help it get a sweeter flavor..but that could just be hear say.
