Flavors and Colors

I have thought about a few different things that i am going to try and am just wondering if anyone else has tried. Purely for color or flavor, food coloring your water from day one, any noticable bud or leaf color? Mio water enhancer, heard of it? Comes in variety of different flavors, no calories or sugars, would it change flavor possibly?

Appreciate the reply. But what about during the grow?

Banana Extract... No it does not make your bud taste like bananas, what it does is enhance your buds original flavor, whatever strain it is.

conformity experiment



oo yes during the grow a tea spoon of juice or food coloring per gallon should make it tast so good and change the color

Haha don't forget the grape koolaid!

Awesome, now does anyone have any pics? Mio is making a blueberry lemonade flavor now, how i wish i had a female started!

4 people it should work are subject should be completly convinced

Ive seen great things with grape koolaid

I am convinced it will work, just wondering if it is done throughout the entire grow or in moderatation? I would just like to know how much difference the color and flavor changed and don't want to feel like i'm smoking chemical or anything. Thanks again guys

I have never heard of this but it sounds intriguing nonetheless.

Juice isn't harmful lulz.

Acid lemon juice wouldn't mess up ph levels?

Yes it would. Ph that shit after adding to water.
But i dont recommend this. You'll prolly have it tasting like shit. After all it's not straight up juice, it goes trough soil , up the stem blah blah. If you want, do it with one plant.

But over the entire grow it would become more enhanced. I'm just wondering with the great strains that are out and the fruityness and great colors out there, how this all comes about? Has to be some form of enhancement from the grower correct?

Naaah it's just strains man. Enhanced? Like with nutes? Then flush yeah. There was a thread about hanging branches just harvested in food colouring, looked awesome, tasted like shit. But maybe juice is the answer D: either after harvest or just the last days of grow. Try it, lemme know if it works out XD

I mean the flavor would become more enhanced over the entire grow. Strains can't be naturely fruity, there has to be influence somewhere. I agree soaking in anything during harvest wouldn't be the way to go. I've started food coloring my water, abeit is a stupid male, 2 months into the grow, but i'm going to see if there is any difference and will be collecting the pollen to breed with my next female, i may even start adding MIO blueberry lemonade, because that shit sounds delishous lol .

Well, lots of folks add molasses in flower because the plant can absorb and use the sugars. You can color a carnation by putting the stem into colored water.

If I was going to try this, I'd pick a flavor like grape or blueberry. Get good ripe fruit, mash or juice it, and feed it to the plant with the normal nutes, ph-ed. I think I'd try it for the last feed or two only, I wouldn't want fermentation.
Sounds like an interesting experiment, but I'd go with real food since I like organics.

None of this is true, and everyone is just messing with you...Botanicare and a few other companies make additives that are supposed to change/add to the taste of your end product...I use the Berry flavored Sweet by botanicare...it just adds a nice flavor to the smoke...and seems to make the plants a little more resinous, but don't overdo it on a strain that is already sticky, or you just get a scissor clogging mess...lol...
Now in the way of the sweet changing the flavor it doesn't make all the pot taste like berries, but it does make any strain taste a little fruitier..I especially use it on this one diesel-y tasting strain...I don't like the fuel taste as well as I like a fruity taste...and the Sweet totally takes down on the fuel taste...so it works for me..it isn't anything amazing...and my toddler gave our marigolds some orange kool aid and it killed them...so I wouldn't advise koolaiding your plants...

Yeah it was sarcasm, but fdd colored his weed, tho he said it "tasted like poo-poo", it looked fucking awesome.
And I'll say again, fruity strains are just like that, they happen to have some taste, even if you grow a plant in a pot of blueberries ( which isnt possible ) and then breed it, you wouldn't get a purple plant or any of that shit you're thinking. Let's stop with this : set one plant aside and water it with lots of blueberrie juice the last days and see what happens, and how it smokes. End of the talk. Probably not worth the trying imo.
