Menthol

Jewels

Tilts at Tables
@HydroRed and @Uncle Rom got me to thinking.
Of all that Terps and tastes and profiles I read about, Menthol doesn't seem to come up in memory.

@Seed of Memory , like myself, is growing a seedsman -white widow.

I am getting a pungent, Vicks VapoRub, smell off of the plant in the third week of flower.
It is certainly not spearmint or peppermint- I have walked in fields of that.

Has anyone produced their own menthol ?

I havent produced my own, but grew out a Female Seeds "Bubblegummer" that was 100% menthol/Vicks Vaporub. It was disgusting haha.
Its not a flavor that I particularly care for, but if you are looking for it you may have good luck finding it in those beans. I read (after growing it) quite a few folks that experienced the same terp profile that I did when they grew that strain out.

In Bloom
This might be a topic @RookieBuds is interested in.

I ran a random mystery seed on my 2nd run in 2021 that smelled very soapy in bloom but the inhale was a light menthol. Distinctly menthol.
I remember we've had convos about this, i forget about which plants or strains though. . .. it's not my preferred terp profile, but it's a nice surprise "smack in the face" kinda ike different fuels (turpentine, gas, diesel) & it's sharp. OH I do remember that "Big Carl" tester, one pheno had a cardamom aroma with a slight choker-menthol exhale.
