@Kasetgunjah Hi mate There are a couple of ways to enhance your terpene profile One is to supplement feeding with a sweetener I like to use Molasses as it's organic and relatively cheap to purchase Simply feed with your watering up until harvest. Another unproven but theoretically sound method is to Leave your plants in total darkness for the last 24-48 hrs of their life before chopping them down and hanging them to dry. Apparently this lets the excess chlorophyl degrade and your resin and terpenes are enhanced. The third method is also unproven but it is said that you can induce colours and resin production by lowering the temperature drastically before harvest. Well I hope I have provided the solution you wanted Please feel free to msg me about any other questions you may have Best of luck with the coming Harvest Mate

I would say you're AT Least two weeks away from harvest, they going to fatten out some more. You can add something like terpinator too or some pk boost for a week or two and then think about flushing. I used molasses and the smoke is dry and smooth but I couldn't tell you if that was the reason....i also reckon I harvested a week or so early.... I probably could have pushed it more. 🤔🌱

You can add molasses to sort of help build the resin and really stress it out with cold ice water and ice cubes and darkness the last couple days check out my Limonade auto grow at the end it’s really cool 😎 👌

Two weeks before harvest is a bit late to start but there s always time to do a good job! If you can try adding magnesium-sulfur to your feed, and some people even recommend adding it to your flush (I don't though!) The sulfur is used in terpene production. Then during your flush you can reduce your light schedule as much as possible something like 10/11 hours , that's because terpenes are highly volatile and the light degrades them. Before the chop you can give a dark period of 24hours for the same reason. Chop in the dark also. Then dry it as slowly as possible to preserve the terpenes. So... To make more terpenes add sulfur, and avoid the heat and the light. That's all that you can do brother! Hope this helps ! 🚀

Well a lot of terpene production has to do with he genetic makeup of the strain that you choose ,nutrients can definitely help the plant produce more and surgery additives in flowering black strap molasses.. any info you would need about that just look up growweedeasy.com this site has a vast amount of usefully knowledge you could use for your grow ..best of luck and cheers from Canada ..
