You can't exactly change it but you can influence it. Food coloring is worthless but some growing additives do affect taste.

You sure as hell ann change the flavor of pot by adding stuff to the water.
Add miracle grow til you harvest and your pot will taste AWFUL is one example.
As far as changing the flavor to something pleasurable like vanilla, coke, etc.--not that I'm aware of.
Plants don't taste like what you add to them.
Grinding up a burger and mixing that into the soil won't make your buds tatse like big macs.
Adding melted ice cream and chocolate syrup to the water won't make your buds taste like a sundae.
You can influrence the taste while the pot is in storage. I've even heard of people putting vanilla bean in the curing jar but I wouldn't do it.
I really really like the taste of organically grown, slow dried, long cured pot.
Slow dried and long cured pot has a rich bouquet of flavors and aroma's that is almost intoxicating by itself.

No need to flavor your smoke, just invest in some good bud. To me, flavoring is something you do when it tastes nasty.

Yeah I thought someone posted somethin by 'Greenman' recently about adding different types of fruit juices to hydro reservoirs or something shortly before harvest, so the sugars dont have enough time to ferment. I do love the natural tastes and aromas of the various strains though. But once I get these clones established that I'm workin' on, I'ma do a side by side comparison with a control, Botanicare Sweet, and Cherry Extract clone. Been wonderin' so long, I've gotta test it to put to rest for myself.

The color, aroma and flavor can all be influenced or manipulated through additives. FINAL FLUSH claims to rid growing medium and plants of superfluous nutrients before harvest. It comes in clear or non flavored, strawberry, Pina Colada and possibly others. It does impart flavor to buds, but why use these products when there are strains available that naturally have the taste and aroma of strawberry, blueberry, bubble gum........

Flavored Final Flush will give the buds an artificial strawberry, pina colada ....but I wouldn't recommend using it.

Any chemical product you add to the plants to change the flavor will only do so because there will be residual of that product in the final buds.

You don't. You take beans with you and grow it out while you're over there. Huge commitment cuz you'll have to be there to grow, process and cure it for the Cup. I hope you can do it.

Purple Max, WILL change the color of your plant. I am not some NEWBI to all this I know. It is made by the same people that make Gravity, out of Humbolt County Cali. (my sweet state) It is made of 100% organic acids that simulate cold stress when in fact the plant is healthy as can be.You could not be happyer.
