What's the trick to getting the herb to taste like it smells all the way through a joint down to the roach?
It has been a while since I've come across herb like that but I've certainly smoked joints before where every toke had lots of flavor reminiscent of the buds aroma all the way down to the roach.
Actually...most herb that I smoked back around 2005 to 2010 had tons of flavor, since then I just don't come across bud that has flavor like that nearly as often. (I swear the highest quality herb I've smoked was back around those years, the black market flower around nor-cal back then was always super fuego).
What is the key to translating that loud & complex aroma into big flavor?
No doubt genetics plays a major role, and the dry & cure is super important, along with many other variable....but just wondering about some of the key points that will help dial in some more flavor? Is there anything some of you have done/discovered that made a noticeable increase in flavor?
Are certain climates more conducive to a flavorful smoke?
This past summer was only my 2nd time around growing the plant...I grew outdoors, organic/live soil/no till....Central nor-cal, lots of sunshine all day...(I've heard that under real sunshine and in live soil the plant has the most potential for high terpene content?).
The buds turned out pretty great. Incredibly resinous/sticky/greasy. The smoke is silky smooth, the bud burns into a clean & light ash. There is zero after-taste and no off-taste to the smoke at all...Overall I'm very happy with the buds and how smooth and "clean" the smoke is, the stuff really does burn clean and smooth, but considering how resinous these buds are there just isn't much flavor.
I just wish I knew what I could do to improve on the flavor...The buds look great, smell great, have a real nice rich high/medicinal effect to them, smoke smooth & clean, but their essence/flavor just doesn't shine in the smoke.
(The strains I grew this time around was "Lemon Wookie Glue", "Underdog Urkle", and "Thin Mint").
The Thin Mint I grew smells just like some of the quality Thin Mint I've had in the past and similar to other cuts/varieties of cookies, but the flavor isn't there or nearly as rich. Like the level of aroma my Thin Mint has is on par with other Thin Mint I've smelled/smoked in the past, but the flavor is super mild compared to that stuff.
I'm just wondering what it is that makes the flavor come through in the smoke? One would think if the aroma is there then the flavor would too, but that obviously isn't the case.
