I agree. It isnt sugary sweet like a Sweet Skunk, but almost all weed when properly flushed has a smooth sweetness to it that almost isnt even a taste, more like an untertone of delectable nectar smoothness... If it isn't grown well or flushed well the that goes out the window
The way we interpret flav is not the same as Aroma. If all you tasted was sour you wouldn't like it. Aroma + Flavonoids are what makes it enjoyable. There are thousands of
Flavonoids in cannabis but there are cannaflavins only found in cannabis.
Flavonoids give cannabis character
We often attribute the flavors and aromas of cannabis to terpenes. However, flavonoids also play an important role in providing the distinguishing qualities we use to differentiate between strain varieties. Both odor and flavor are possible in cannabis due to the synergistic qualities that terpenes and flavonoids share with one another.

I have some Karma SourD Bx3’s and Headbanger packs .. Those should be cool to hunt through.. I’m more than excited about the SFV OG/bx3/Sour D beans I’m running shortly .. The mom is Mr Bob Hemphill’s Sour D .. She’s the truth ... I’m stress testing all the males outdoor this summer in small containers.. Finding a potent stable mother that leans towards the Sour is the goal ... I hope to find my unicorn ..

I am not 100% positive this is the right video but I think it is. I don't have time to re watch now. But if it is the right video they explain about plant terpenes, not cannabis specific. Terpenes apparently have a vibration. So two plants can have nearly identical terpenes profiles yet still smell completely different from each other because the terpenes are vibrating at different frequencies. Obviously the video explains it far better than I just did.
Hopefully I posted the right link.
Ask a non smoker to tell you what they smell when you open a jar is how I like to do things.
Im starting these very soon.

I think there are also compounds called alchyl esters as well. They are much less stable than terps and highly voliatle. a lot of the nasty mustard bassica onion smells are esters iirc.
I think this is why a lot of concentrates taste heavily like lemon or pine . i imagine the esters volitalize off during most extraction process with the purge, leaving only the terpenes.
Also worth noting that smell is not a fully objective sense and is largely associated with memory.

this may be controversial but this is what I think...
I think the lavender comes from somas afghan hawaiian the same plant he used in his lavender strain
I think the grapefruit comes from the mexican afghan that soma hit with the afghan hawaiian male, I don't think soma ever had real sour and took his best guess as to what the diesel was, euro seedbanks used to and some still do list diesel as mexicanXafghani and describe it as fruity
I think the lavender and grapefruit can show in any line with somas in it including rez
the acrid poop/halitosis comes from the real sour
JJ said they gave Adam Dunn the Corey Haim cut labeled as the original underdog to see what he was going to do with it
AJ doesn't have terp or potency results for sour on his ig
I don't think the real deal gets let out much if at all, I think cuts labeled sour have been handed to dispos and hightimes etc that weren't sour, phylos definitely doesn't have the real deal

Hah! im not a big fan of adam dunn in his podcasts...
I remeber Loompa writing somewhere that the Undergawg OG used by adam dunn (TH seeds) and through that GGG's Joseph, was really just some random outcross of the original deal. but i could be mistaken... maybe both stories are true and he (adam dunn) tried to get it more recently from JJ...

Terpenes/terpenoids, alkanes, alcohols, esters, ethers, flavonols/flavonoids, ketones, aldehydes, thiols, phenols, hormones etc as well as combinations of some of those like phenol esters, mercaptoketones etc. linalool, for example, is a terpene and an alcohol
