Maximizing terpenes

How to maximize terpene production? I'm growing a strain that is supposed to be super stinky, and I so desperately want to get the full potential from this Chemdog cross. What does the plant need for producing terpenes and thiols? (My setup requires fully dissolved nutrients.)

-You can use additives like molasses and many others. -You can play with the spectrum as they are spectrums that helps to have better veg and others to have better flo -You can apply a dark period at the end of flowering. -You try to reach the best values possible for your environment parameter. -You need to have a stable genetic because cross can lean on the mother side or on the father side so if one smell good and the other not then you'll have to make a selection. -You need to know when to harvest ( my cheese was at a perfect terpenes level when the trichomes were cloudy but an average smell when harvested with amber trichomes) , the harvest widow is important.

As you've already mentioned, removing the larf and lower stems will help increase the quality of your buds. Then some mild stress can help too. Keep the humidity below 50% and even less in the final weeks. Constant wind flow against the buds is said to improve the bud size and trichomes too. 👍🌱
