I tried another one that I thought might be better suited for uses other than smoking (bag seed) and ... HOLY SHIT, my mouth was on fire. Now, I like hot stuff (just got done eating habaneros, cheese, and crackers) but this drove me to spit it out!
Yeah, just for shits and giggles I munched some nug. Fresh weed.
I wouldn't say it was flushed, per se, but it was never heavily fertilized and got only water the last couple-few weeks.
Absolutely nothing sprayed. No foliar feed either.
But, yeah, weird. I'm going to taste some others and see what's up. I have 7 distinctive phenos from the blasted bagseed.
Terpenoids? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beta-Caryophyllene That might explain the pepper affect. It' s present in cannabis, hops, black pepper (aha!), cloves, etc. All those things burn the mouth (see cinnamon challenge!).
Ok, back from tasting. It's two plants. I didn't keep track so I can't say they're from the same bucket but it might just be that MG soil, IDK. One of them has a phenotypic twin ... these two plants were almost identical in every way ... habit, odor.
But now I'm interested in knowing if this is coincidental or a direct cause of MG soil on terpene production. I didn't manage to record which plants came from where so it's not definitive but suggestive the MG soil has something to do with it (2 out of 7 plants with that "taste" and there were 2 plants in the MG bucket). Then again, the other buckets were "spent" MG soil with 25% earthworm castings added. Who knows?
Either way, as luck would have it the two largest producing plants produced the most mediocre nug. My partner has no appreciation for good weed so I think I'll tempt him with a trade.
