Though note it is only with the "original" formula (both 3-9 and 3-6) and not the modified given earlier. It helps that I've been able to "Get used to" my bull for the last couple years with nitrate. I do remember that I had noted a better taste when going from my wrong methods to correct methods (urea > nitrate at same time). Since the re-visitation of the formula gave the results I had trying to get back to, but remembering that change to flavor; that is why / how the formula was modified to the method and application posted (using). I.e. going back to nitrate for 6-9 and modifying the urea formula as much as possible without losing benefit. (NO3 up, NH4 down, Urea down, Ca & Mg up).
I will give another taste / smoke update for the modified formula (posted) when I get enough samples to compare there. As well, I also plan to continue experimentation with this overall method to see if it can be further 'tweaked". I'm terrible at describing smell and taste too btw.
Anyway; my earliest and most general statement would be to say that: With the
original formula overall
Terpenes (flavor) seem to be less "diverse" and less "pronounced" as compared to Nitrate. Cannabinoids are altered as well to a moderate extent; but I have no scientific means to say how. When medicating with nitrate bull then switching to urea bull; it was as if I was smoking a totally new strain.
To my surprise the control of my anxiety was significantly improved. Similarly with pheno 1 0f 2 headband there is a possible change (more heady); though I do not have enough time with that strain to say much. Interestingly with that headband; it had pretty much no flavor with nitrate and most said it just didn't taste (however the other pheno is delicious). Trying the urea headband; i can distinctly taste some diesel funk and even a skunky (yes skunky) flavor. I would still say the overall flavor profile is narrower; though with that particular headband, i kinda like the change.
