Smells and tastes, can we alter them?

The fact about the warning of placing some of the chemical smell removers on this site. I think goes to give evidence and experience that the smell and taste can be altered while growing. Something to stay away from IMO.

certain fertilizers can definitely give flower a certain taste. Many say the same for hydro. But I'm not starting that argument, lol

Like the plant we found growing in an overflow at a sewage treatment plant, damn weed tasted like shit!

ewwwww! Thats funny, I wonder if someone flushed a seed.

LOL it was common to flush when the wrong person knocked at the door!

I have a test going, I skinned an orange (it screamed the whole time) and dropped the zest in a pint jar 'bout half full of death bud 2 days ago. I have let it stand at room temp until this morning when it went into the fridge. The jar when open has a very strong orange smell, of course the peel is still in there. In a few days I'll remove the peel and dry the bud back out as it has picked up a little moisture from the zest.
WTF is death bud, its small bud that was allowed to die on the plant standing in the sunshine/rain/etc. without care until it died from frost/shock, then when dry pick it.
