Strains with strong, pronounced flavor?

For a flavor punch in the pallete
oregon lemons and stink bomb from archive..
Fire Alien Romulan..
GG4 has good flavor upon inhale/exhale as well, even when smoked...
All I can say is there is a world of flavor/ terpene difference in running hydro nutes and coco and growing in something like frank described. I also agree with his statement about some need curing others not so much. The 101 north is similar in that the best smells come out around the end of week one in curing and last until about week 3 then it fades. Still smells good but there is something special about that two week sweet spot. Curing cold is the way to keep those terpenes from being lost..

Can't recall any metallic aftertastes or lighter notes, but the lemon sensation was not much like actual lemon or lemon juice, but more strongly mirroring an artificial lemon syrup & lemonhead candy flavor

Oger 99. The taste is to die for. Especially the Bananna OG pheno...tons of flavor. There must be someone out there who made f2s of this fine strain.

Thanks for the info! There is a strain here "Lemon Diesel" that has a very strong lemon upfront and this metallic tang on the after, but grows not like diesel at all (nor looks like diesel, nor tastes like diesel)... And was speculated that it could possibly be a lemon skunk, but by your description now we doubt it...
It seems the trend these days is multiple packs to find a keeper.
That said, judging a strain by germinating less than half a pack of seeds seems somewhat futile to me. Especially once one considers the range of flavors & different breeders tastes & goals. I've read more than a few threads that state that the grower has burned up several packs of the same strain to never find a keeper.
If you strictly want flavors, try some TGA strains.
If you want flavor & potency check out the thread about TGA somewhere in here.
Pandoras box had some excellent flavors.
As did Third Dimension. 3D also had potency.

Sour Power. They all were great really, but my favourite one has a strong bold fruity, like banana ice cream mixed with some other fruits that is also sour and astringent.
A really special flavour combination.

yup definitely agree, its certainly strain dependant.. some strains can dry with a beautiful smell/taste straight away.. so much so that curing can dull the smell/taste down..
other strains will smell amazing after a year long cure. possibly even better or maybe just different like some subtleties will become more prominent.
imo though, you gotta start off with something good. if it smells and taste bland after drying, its not gonna miraculously turn dank.
good weed is good without a cure.
with your selection you should find plenty of distinctive plants.
Coco and GH isnt the best if you are after flavor. Sulfur helps in the development of terpenes. Molasses helps with micro and trace elements including sulfur. Microbes are the real deal when it comes to this area of plant development. Make sure you take them the full term then wait a little longer before harvest. Cold cure near freezing for the best flavor. there is a thread about it in the drying curing section. You doubt its curing eh? LOL microwave samples? ...lmao
I don't know if you read my first post but I'm current running querkle, Jacks Cleaner 2, Agent orange and Chernobyl. My JC2 female was by far the best smelling strain I've ever grown, sweet and sour like pure Lemonheads candy, unfortunately from week 9 to 10 then scent disappated and again didn't carry through to the smoke but it was definitely not lacking potency. True one hitter but 8-9 weeks is probably a better window to pull them.
Ogers99 sounds awesome but I don't see any available.
On that Lemon skunk, I did some research on both Lemon skunk by DNA and SLH by GH, what I read was that GHS got there LS from DNA so I would go that route and last I checked attitude had a restock as I was close to ordering those myself but I'm running a few strains that involve the SLH already.
FE, funny you mention Oregon Lemons because I sat there going back and forth with adding it and removing it from my cart. Same goes with both his catpiss crosses including Code Blue I believe it was called, and hazmat with chem 91 as I hear that is best tasting chem pheno. I'm also hoping to get a GG pheno from my Elmer's Glue.
As far as curing I do find it always brings a smoothness to the smoke, guessing from chlorophyll dissipating? Unfortunately I'm hoping cannabis its not like wine where people say "oh it has hints of peach, eucalyptus and lemongrass yet I can just taste crappy wine and the $8 bottle tastes same to me as $45 bottle.
yup tga is amazing for smell and flavour but most of it is daytime weed. not all but most. ^ if you are losing smell at certain points in flowering it might be a environmental thing going on. the smell should evolve throughout really.
I keep hearing that and I read the tga and potency thread, based on querkle and JC2 that I've personally harvested so far, those claims are unfounded. I still have yet to harvest any Agent Orange or Chernobyl but I eventually would like to pick up some Ace of Spades or Plushberry for that black cherry soda pheno...maybe some Jillybean as I hear that's a killer tasty strain.
I'll admit Hortilab has caught my eye, seems to be an under the radar breeder with some solid strains with only negative in my eye is that I don't believe they used ECSD clone in there breeding but Rez SD IBL. Maybe that's just me being picky but yes there sour power and Starbud sound awesome. Do you still grow it?
To me I would think most of your issue and possible issues could be your 1 quart pots.. I know people Grow in coco with small pots and all but damn a quart? Maybe try giving your plants some more root space and maybe they might come out a whole lot better.
I mean in such small pots I would think your Grow and multi feedings would have to be 100% flawless or the end product would suffer. Also how you finish your plants can have a rastic effect on the taste of your weed as well like with flushing to soon or to late or not properly fading the plant correctly or to soon.

well it depends on tolerance but ive grown a few of his strains, yes there are more potent ones, but agent orange for example, really is daytime. nice weed still but not overly potent.
Lol I hear that and have bought some 5.5" 2 quart pots to throw in my system to see if any difference in yield mostly but I saw none. Maybe because its SOG coco and no veg time clones... But I run roughly 106 of them under a 1000w and 600w combined, getting anywhere from 5-22 grams per, strain dependant of course. I flush starting week 8, after my Koolbloom dry gets a few days in the res and pull end of week 10 as long as trics scope minimum 90% cloudy with few ambers, sometimes a few clear.
