is there anything i can spray on the weed during flowering so that it makes it taste and smell better like a fruit or beverage

watering with molasses helps taste. 1tb/gal. proper flushing, drying and curing are the best ways to enhance flavor

im already using molasses I'm about to do more research on flushing because I've heard its best not to if your going oganic...same thing with molasses theres nothing definitive on either

You could try a dilution of essential oil foliar spray, and though it strikes me as inherently wrong to apply a flavor topically, I've never tried that method so I cannot speak to it.
I have tried, and believe can influence flavor, feeding thirsty plants near harvest custom teas. My most recent was seaweed, hibiscus and apple peelings. Steeped hot, left to cool, strained, then strained again. Mixed approx. 1:3 with water, and put in the res. Hydro plants can lack the complexity of flavor that soil grown plants are typically credited with having. I'm trying to infuse flavor via organic sources very late in an otherwise chemical hydro grow. But once I 'watered' a plant with coca cola the day before harvest. She had a spicier flavor than her clone sisters.
To dry I hang plants root and all in the belief compounds in the roots add flavor and aroma. Who knows?

cola haha thats awesome never heard of that i love experimenting, .i was reading aboutt a dude who puts a few drops of it on his bud after crushing to better flavor...also beer in his bong but can't say neve tried myself
but I'm about to harvest one plant in about 2 weeks...ive been using unsulpherd molasses on and off with org. fxfarm (high n&k) nutes between rains ....would you flush prior to hanging?

starts with good lights, good room controls, a full flowering period, proper feeding/watering habits and c02 augmentation. at that point no additives will be needed, as the plant will be the best it can be.
If you add something to your plant that makes it better.....its only because you were starving it of the resource in the first place.
molasses is not consumed by plants btw. pouring sugar onto a poorly expressed plant does no good.

maybe a kool aid dip kiddo

I agree with this right here. Also , organics is the best way to pull out them terps. Organic is that flavor packed bud when it's done properly. It really is the way everything is going..
Also, I add Cold Pressed Coconut Oil. Just a small scoop mixed into a gallon.

Are you saying that boosted co2 increases trichomes or canabanoid production. Or just adequate co2?

I believe boosting co2 and only under very intense light and warmer temps increases growth speed only.
adequate. I find no pleasure in boosting any resource. I achieve no improvement in flavor, terpenes, growth, maturity, effects by doing so.(cept light)
could just be I'm in a sweet spot, already supplying the needed resources at levels that fit my space and habits too. an addition tips my balances to the poor side every time. The closest I've come.....is using the UV bulb sunlight supply gave me almost ten years ago. I did notice changes, positive ones. but you know what...thats because my shitty light supply(1k bulbs hps + mh doesnt include anywhere near the uv of the sun, and not even close to the 10k bulb in the first place. . Even still..not worth the efforts, risks and fuss factor to me.
like starving the plant of N in veg , and saying "I added more N in flower and thats whats needed to make it right" I'm starving my plants of UV so I could post "UV augmentation is how to boost trichome contents" kinda silly

do you know what is in molasses that will cause terpene profiles to express fuller?
