Sticky fingers and sugarshot I’d say from xpert nutrients. I use the whole line and those two are banging. Others of them are good too, but not outstanding.

Genetics and experience. The sun is one of the best terp enhancers. Don't be fooled into buying products, they don't have half as much effect as the advertising will have you think. Marketing is to get you to buy things, not tell you the truth.

UV-B irradiation differentially regulates terpene synthases and the terpene content of plants, cannabis in particular. Results can vary drastically but have been shown to alter profiles in surprising ways, Gran daddy purple is known for its strong lavender smell, this is attributed to the terpene linalool which given a correct schedule can x3-4 the already high levels. When we look at terpene production, we not only look at the "sugars" it needs to build complex proteins but also the efficiency of the mechanisms that produce the terpenes, can this be sped up using enzymes? Yes are there ways to manipulate over-production using environmental triggers? Yes. Moreover, temperature, relative air humidity, and CO2 concentrations are other abiotic factors influencing cannabinoid biosynthesis. Significant variations in the cannabis plant morphology and secondary metabolism have also been reported in response to light intensity and quality. Identical gentical clones grown indoors and outdoors always have different profiles and always have less terpene when grown indoor.

Hello. I like to use Karbo-Boost by Green Planet and Sweet-Raw By Botanicare. It also comes in Citrus and Berry, but I like Raw.
