New Grower Soil Flavoring?

[Scott817]

Hello everyone
I was wondering if anyone has ever added things to the soil to create new flavors in a plant? If you did can you say how much of what and how it went please?

I was wondering if adding things like ground up cocoa beans might create some sort of chocolate flavor? What about things like Mint or cinamon? Organic things tha the plant could absorb and would be effected by.

I could be just crazy or ummmmmmm medicated for thinking of it but I have been pondering it for a few days anyway. French vanilla coffee flavor indica anyone?

Final Flush makes flavored lines, so you must be able to do it.

When i use manures and guano in my soil i swear you get a sweater smoke.

Try it out on one..Let us know

I'll take your word on the "poop makes my pot sweeter" thing.

But, I might try flavoring my "beer cup" plant, if it lives long enough. :dance:

I've fed hobgoblin (ruby ale) to a number of photo-period varieties over the years to experiment with altering the flavor of the product.. I found these plants - and in particular white widow strains, to have a tendency to have more intense tones of flavor but not necessarily related to hops or yeast or anything, just an increase in flavornoids characteristic to that plant. This was not always the case but i had no negative results from using it so sometimes when it's avalible i feed them the ruby ale few days after the final flush. I think it's unlikely that feeding anything to the plant will change or 'infulence' the flavor of the product since the taste is derived from the essential oils and the favornoids in them that are produced by the plant. I'm quite sure though that certain additives may induce an increased production of flavornoids and would be very interested to experiment further with this.. I'm all about the flavor of fine cannabis

cool to know. I have been saving all my coffee grounds for awhile now as I was going to add a bunch to the soil and see what happens then

if you put coffee grounds into your soil it wont make your weed taste like coffee, the enzymes break down whatever is in the soil and then the roots absorb the nutrients as basic elements kinda so id be sceptical about "soil flavourings" afer all if you put manure and fish emulsion in your soil your weed wont taste like poo and fish.
things like molasses will enhance the smell and flavour but wont change the kind of taste and smell it already had.
if im wrong please correct me.

your best bet would be to try this instead of messing with your weed www.yummy-smoke.com:bong:

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If you want to flavour your weed you do it when it's cured. When it's properly dry, or even a little too crispy, stick the buds in some container and put that inside a jar with a piece of orange or lemon and let the fruit re-hydrate the weed for a while. It won't ruin your weed or your yield and it can be done with all kinds of flavours. You can substitute fruit for a dish of water with some chocolate or vanilla essences if you want. Works either way.

Trouble is with using coffee grounds is they are very acidic and will slowly reduce the pH of your growing medium if used as a mulch - hence this would be ideal for erricacious species like blueberry plants (the fruit) and roses ect..

However in the case of neutral-loving plants such as cannabis, it turns out this might indeed be detrimental to the final push during the late bloom since phosphates are more or less insoluble under acidic conditions and thus less readily available to the plant. In fact in the natural setting, soil acidity has a tendency to decrease (increase in pH) toward the onset of the fall following a decline in soil nitrogen and thereby unlocking bound phosphates in the soil's mineral content at a time when the fruiting/flowering plants require it the most. This is something i am looking into for sure for mimicking the natural soil chemistry

In acidic soils (especially < 5.5) aluminium is the dominant ion that will react with phosphate. In these soils the first products formed would be amorphous Al and Fe phosphates, as well as some Ca phosphates. The amorphous Al and Fe phosphates gradually change into compounds that resemble crystalline variscite (an Al phosphate) and strengite (an Fe phosphate). Each of these reactions will result in very insoluble compounds of phosphate that are generally not available to plants. Reactions that reduce P availability occur in all ranges of soil pH but can be very pronounced in alkaline soils (pH > 7.3) and in acidic soils (pH < 5.5). Maintaining soil pH between 6 and 7 will generally result in the most efficient use of phosphate.

Good genetics along with good growing and processing skills is the key to tasty herb. No need to flush organic grows. Peace.

iv read that you varry much can flavor your weed using extracts like vanilla, mint etc... i also read you should do so only afew hours before chopping tha plant . . .
iv read about people uprooting there plants and soaking tha roots in different liquors before harvast . . .
i did give Dr Pepper to a large 6'+ plant i had outdoors at least a decade ago lol ** it was tha only plant of that strain i had and it was allready peppery smelling so i have no clue if it did anyting lol but it didnt seem to hurt it
