I use molasses occasionally and numerous other fertilizers and I get that smell/taste. Could be the strain is my answer.Or you could ask the grower.They dont let you test it before buying.
How would they add this to dried buds,and who is they,must be some shady motherfuckers
Yes I err I mean they are some shady mfers lol but really you havent heard of using fruit to bring flavor, smell and moisture back to dried out hay smelling flower? Really nothing shady about that as it helps the smell and the gives it some moisture back. Adding
terpenes to the fruit is a step better because it usually (depending on what
terpenes you use) prevents any type of mold growing on the fruit which can also end up growing on the buds if it gets too wet, but something like limonine which is anti fungal/microbial puts a stop to that at least for a few more days than usual.
Ccompared to spraying the buds with butane before selling them, this is like a Christians play lol so I dont really consider it shady.
Plus consider this you get a pound of some super dry hay smelling weed for a 1000, I'm talking dryer than your gfs vj...u could in theory add about an ounce of moisture to get it back to a fresh moisture level and if you use terps and fruit it will give it a much better taste and smell as well (although it's obviously not as nice as something like perfectly grown and cured organic) but you will have acceptable flower that started out as totally unacceptable, so it's really not all that shady imo.
Trying to add ejuice flavorings though the buds actually absorb some of the propaline glycol carrier and start cracking like crazy so it's best to stick with fruit/
terpenes for flavoring/rehydrating...
