Ever get these gross synthetic plastic smells from organics? Almost like Dr Shoals shoe spray or something? With a taste to match? Ever get buds that smell like vanilla banana air freshener, and actually taste like smoking literal perfume? Buds that make your teeth instantly hurt when you take a hit.. Ever get that growing in living soil? Buds that make the back of your head hurt, and your ears squeal? You ever grow anything like that, organically?

I've only grown natural my entire life and never experienced these offgasing plastic aromas that I find in dispensaries. I have grown all the rubber (GG) and plastic(bubblegum) strains. I'm not talking about a pleasent biorganic weed aroma. I'm talking about literally tasting like a burning tube of toothpaste. Ever get that with organics? With natural weed? Am I missing some popular disgusting lung killing genetics that showed up the very day I moved to AZ and got my MMJ card?

I'm just trying to understand why hundreds of thousands of people think all the [unflushed?] hydro bud at the dispensaries smells or tastes, or even feels like weed. As far as my experience takes me, it doesn't.

The vaporizer, for past 10 years of my life, has easily seperated weed flavors from contaminant flavors, it has honed my skill immensely in this regard. Aside from that, I have never met anyone in my life who's grown weed that smells like a nauseating plastics factory.

I know for a fact what I'm smelling at dispensaries isn't weed. I just want to understand why others have been fooled so easily believing the smell of GROW PRODUCTS to be the aroma of weed strains.

yes, once your space is correct and your habits are honed these plants are capable of producing all kinds of odors.
I dont use any products except poop and water and I get all of the flavors and smells you describe. If I didnt I wouldnt grow marijuana.

I grow organic style with hid lights, co02, sealed rooms, peat, hand watering.
The stranger smells are the winners, really the only reason I clicked on your thread, I thought you found some more

I've never been to any dispensaries, as I've grown my own with MMMP program for quite a few years now. But, I definitely notice that all my friends that use Canna products, all their end product smells and tastes are very similar, to the point where i have a hard time discerning which strain was which. Funny thing is, if we both grow the same strain they always comment how different mine smells from theirs and I just have myself a little giggle :lol:. I gave one of my good friends a couple pots worth of living soil to grow with, he's convinced by next year he's going to be all living soil and no more Canna. I think he's seen the light ;)

I've been out of weed for awhile so luckily I have a friend who has a med card. You have to have cancer or ptsd where I live to legally smoke their shwag. The buds are actually not bad tasting...they can have a mold flavor due to rushed curing. You know they use shitty nutes because the bud literally turns black when you light it unlike my own clean burning organic bud that turns to nice white ash. No leftover black residue that tastes horrible once the green is gone.
