Geranium aftertaste?

[AgentPothead]

I am not a flower guy, but geraniums have a very distinct smell to me and sometimes I get weed that has an aftertaste that I can only describe as geranium. Anybody experienced this or know what is causing it? I know outdoor bud grown near pine trees can actually acquire the piney taste from the terpenes from the tree, is it possibly something like that? I wasn't sure what forum to put this in either, seemed like this was the one for general whateverness.

Sorry i don't bring any science. Friend of mine grew some lowryder X's years ago against everyone advice, with expected very poor results. They had an unpleasing aftertaste. They reminded me the bitter scent when you break a geranium branch, very distinctive, and i nicknamed them geranium just to annoy him.
Perhaps it's got something to do with ruderalis? The geraniol is not this terpen, because geraniol you can find in other plants and they doesn't smell like that, roses for example, break a branch and smells nothing special other than broken rose branch. Geraniums add something extra.
Then there's the boiled liver of some old dutch strains, i hated it too, but the taste was different than the smell. Geranium autos smelled and tasted just bad. Didn't get you high, either. Teetotals favourite, luckily extinct today.

I am not. As a teenager I did once drink a glow stick because I thought it might make my urine glow. It did not.

That's about 15 years too late to be me, plus I am not stupid enough to microwave them. It was also one of those tiny necklace glow sticks, not a full size one. I hope that kids eyes were okay, he seemed to get hit full shot.

Wow that's pretty incredible to me, were those plants in pots or did they share the soil with the pine trees?

That is possible on the autos I guess, I hope not since 4 of the 5 seeds I popped were all supposed to be auto. If they taste like geraniums I will definitely let you guys know.

The Amnesia Haze Core cut, aka SuperSilverHaze has something to do with geranium/geraniol IMHO.

I've smoked ruderalis crosses and straight ruderalis back when they were first being marketed, around the early eighties it seems like.

Only tried it a few times because it was such a letdown. They were very healthy plants, about sixteen inches tall at most, mostly one bud. Excellent bag appeal, frost for days. The ruderalis by itself smell was very, VERY muted, a faint menthol or camphor smell that barely came through as a taste when smoked. It was like smoking air or nothing at all is how I would describe it at the time.

Might have been some CBD that I didn't realize at the time, wasn't looking for that though.

Well awesome, thank you for the information guys. I always figured it was just me being weird, but I guess not.

I'd almost be willing to bet you're tasting SM-90 that was used too long into bloom or sprayed on the buds to kill powdery mildew.

It looks like the main active ingredient in SM-90 is coriander, aka cilantro. I am one of the people who think cilantro has a very strong soap taste. It is possible it is the sm-90, but I don't notice a soap taste, just a taste I can only describe as geranium. I have in the past smoked "soapy" weed and that makes me wonder if that was the cause.

Haven't tasted germanium, that I'm aware of. I'm familiar with Kali Mist tasting like pyrethrins, though its a more complex flavor/aroma of flowers with chrysanthemum being most prevelant.

I personally find it disgusting, there are however a lot of folks who like it.

Oh that's really interesting on the pyrethrins, I know they are derived from chrysanthemums and are used in multiple products for mildew/insect control. I wonder if that is inherent to the strain itself, or some control product they are using?
