Strains you avoid for whatever reason??

It's pretty much all good to me as long as I like the stone, my sense of smell is not terribly sharp and never has been. I'd probably steer clear of anything that other growers are saying smells like death, shit, vomit, poorly kept snootch, incense or alfalfa. At the same time I do genuinely like rank ass Cheese or Skunk, so I guess that could mean that shit and poorly kept snootch actually have some chance at being ok within limits :LOL: Maybe that's where beer helps out.
 
For me, it’s the floral or potpourri smell/flavor. Surprisingly, I’ve only encountered it one time. It wasn’t a horrible high, but the flavor felt like I walked through a garden licking every flower along the way and then chugged potpourri water! I saw someone say that Headband gave them a headache…..headband, around 2011/2012 would knock my ass out. Would start smoking a bowl and wake up 30 minutes later, bowl in hand or on my chest and only a couple hits taken. Couldn’t smoke it during the day because it would make me lazy and stupid!! I eventually steered away from that one, but now that I’m older, that would work great for my back pain and sleeping at night.

I'm mildly shocked to hear that "potpourri" is a dislike, I've only come across it once and it was BEAUTIFUL. Archive Flavour Pack, from the original drop. God i wish i still had access to that pack. I grew one seed, got one female & it smelled like Dove soap & grandma's favorite bathroom potpourri, had the Z-terp taste & the most perfect Kush exhale of any Kush that ever Kush'd 👌

Alfalfa, never. Other than that, I've had plenty of strains that did not impress me at all, but nothing I'd run from. I do keep notes, so that I don't accidentally purchase said strains again. I have a good amount of half packs in my stash. Maybe over this Winter, I'll pull the half packs that I won't revisit, for a Springtime GAW. WE all have our own likes, so fire is in the eye of the beholder! I personally love the floral types best. I have 4 different Bubba's, that I'll hunt this Summer, in search of the ultimate bouquet. Seeds will come from this hunt and there will be crosses going all across the stunners.

I can muster through some funky strains, but I just cant do any minty weed. I grew out Female Seeds "Bubblegummer" some years back and it was ALL mint smell and flavor. :sick:
I was like wtf, then I read that was the main pheno being found in them even though they boast a sweet bubblegum skunk flavor and smell. The "free weed" text went out to my closest lol
“Bubble bummer” 😂

That actually sounds pretty awful. Like that "Bubble Mint" chewing gum my wife sometimes used to get, an absolute flavor travesty 😣💀 lol

@HBZ let me ask you this: What sounds better in general .. ..Spearmint, peppermint or like straight choker-menthol?

Me personally, I could dig on a spearmint pheno or strain. Choker-menthol too, but IMO peppermint sounds slightly unappealing to me.

I didn't see this thread, and was gone a few days from here, but, I'll get caught up now LOL.

Strains I steer clear of:

Anything that smells or tastes like fucking candy, and most strains that are fruity. If I wanted to have something taste sweet, I'd eat cake. If I wanted something to taste fruity, I'd drink juice.
If any of you have chatted with me here on Phenohunter, then you'll know I called the actual cops on the Cheese thread ;):LOL: lol jk! No but really. . . Cheese, that's probably the main one I avoid simply because it's unpleasant for me. I'm no snob, I won't refuse it if passed to me & I do acknoweldge that Cheese strains in general, they do rip & pack quite a punch effect-wise.
So you don't like how they smell but you like how they feel? There's a wash your snatch joke in here somewhere LOL.
Ice Cream/Cake strains in general are lookers but not likers; for me, they just seem not to pack much flavor but they do add craaaaaazy amounts of frost to the party. Like, CRAZY frost. Oh and often times gives that "chinese food" high that Cookies usually gives, you're hungry for more within 20 minutes :stoned: lol!
I will admit that Ice Cream Cake #5 was decent. The 20 minutes and you're not stoned anymore thing though is like... Yeah, we're at the Gum with a Zebra for a logo LOL.

I don't like anything minty. I wouldn't smoke menthol cigs and I don't want menthol weed. I have 1-1/2 packs of a minty strain in the Vault and it will stay there until I find someone that wants it.

I don't like anything that smells or tastes too much like chemicals, like unnatural heavy perfumes.

If it has too much of a musty smell, my mind tells me it's moldy even if it isn't, and subsequently I can't enjoy it.
I've got some Chocolate Cheese from Jim Dandy that literally smells like an Andes bar; Minty Chocolate.
@pyschobilly is really gonna be on your ass now for dissing his beloved cheese. :ROFLMAO: :snoop:

LOL it's OK. I also like Ghost Pepper Sauce, but I in no way would expect literally everyone else to like it.
Cool and interesting thread man. I kind of go in waves. I definitely lean more towards the fruity and floral strains but have grown tired of them as of late. Im trying to run some straight up nasty, gassy, skunky and funky stuff this year so I've decided to cross all of my keepers with strains that might stir that profile up a bit. I've got some cheese, hazes and gassers lined up for this year. Should be an interesting year of projects! I can say that the gassier they are, the more "stoned" I get in my experience. Curious to see what others have to say.
:)
Even if he plays it off he will be sitting at home like what a dick..He never had no real cheese😡😆
Hahahahahahaha! :) I mean, I've got a few I'm guessing he'd be into LOL
I'm with you, my tastes do waver and I'll prefer a thing for a while (fruity/candy) then flip the script & pine for the other thing (funk/foul/GMO/meat). I know i talked mad shit on Cheese but I'll sometimes even window-shop that just to see what's out there
How do you like funk and foul but not Cheese ? I've got a GMO that came out with weird rotted hamburger and onions and garlic that's pretty awesome, and it's starting to get some weird floral notes even.
Oh I've had some FONKY cheeses, even from dispos. Admittedly though I'm not 100% sure if I've had real Exodus even though I know I've purchased it under that name, and legitimacy aside it was still foul 🤣 oh and i haven't fuct w Cheetoz yet
Dispensary people aren't to be trusted; Back when I used to go into those places, I saw one day they have Chemdog listed on the menu, but only had Chemdog '91 on the shelves, and when I asked them about it, the girl started looking, and they were literally all the same. I'm like damn it... I wanted the first one but '91 was all they had. They had UK Cheese prerolls in there for 20 dollars....All shake... *sigh*
Cheese reminds me of the "baby poo" terps people literally brag about fucking GAG.
Were you the victim of a GG Allin concert ? LOL ;)
Matter o fact I'm redialing the cops right now 💀🤣

"None if this fucker's weed smells like candy or dessert!"
For me it's the perfume ones I will pass on, and the meat ones. Rotting meat smells just don't do it for me, and the perfume cologne heavy ones gag me. Lol
Had a really strong rotted meat one yrs back, had me dry heaving from its funk.
I don't do that easy, pretty strong stomach here, but that thing was foul. Lol.
Like I took some hamburger, mixed it up with some oranges, and left it to sit in the sun a couple of weeks. 🤮🤮🤮
LOL
I sent some of those beans to @Psychobilly, get him to grow em for a smoke report. Lol
Good thing; I was about to ask him what it was hahaha.

Not feeling the Altoid OG huh?

Remember me if you get another real Skunk :)

I don't know..I'm a lil opposite..I love the smell of peppermint...I use essential oil peppermint right under the nostrils quite often for headaches.. Spearmint on the other hand I'm not super fond of...Like when you mow thru a patch of it..Kinda nasty to me..Menthol I absolutely love..along with eucalyptus..The minty phenos I've had in the past we're not much different than Vicks mentholated rub...That's the ones I really like

Those pure arcata S1 from Cannaventure had a good bit of menthol in them.

I just hope there will never be a strain that tastes or smells like Patchouli oil. that crap gives me a headache.
Agree in general, but, I've discovered it depends on the quality of the oil. DoTerra makes some reeally nice essential oils and their Patchouli isn't that heavy headshop, dirty homeless person smell, it's way more herbal/woody and clean. That point aside I still agree a patchouli-fwd cannabis in my house would go straight in the trash as soon as my wife isn't looking 🤣🤣🤣 (she rips me a new one anytime I throw out "undesirable" flower 🤷🏻‍♂️ lol)
