And, uh, one thing that I feel like a lot of people don't talk about enough, and it's starting to gain some traction I will say in the mainstream world, is terpenes.
Now, there's ways to maintain your terpenes, to get more terpenes, and to overall keep that flavor and funk and aroma, but obviously you kind of need to know the basics too.
You need to have that, the normal ground covered before you can even get to that point, and I figure maybe we'll start in that realm.
Obviously genetics, genetics, genetics, that's always the big thing, and it's an obvious if you've been watching or listening, to have good genetics.
You need genetics that are known to have the terpene expressions that you're looking for.
Well, I think the environment is kind of one of the big things that if you're trying to, um, you know, conserve your terpenes, stop losing terpenes, you have to have your environment dialed in because, uh, you know, something that we've talked about more and more over the past recent years, I think, uh, Dr.
B, Dr. Bruce Bugbee is the one who kind of brought this up, brought this to light, was if your temperature is too high, you know, specifically towards the end of flowering, then you could be losing terpenes.
Terpenes are volatile, so higher the temp, the more terpenes you're really losing.
So if you're running in the 80 degree Fahrenheit, uh, you know, upwards of 90 degrees Fahrenheit, some people run, you know, 87 degrees Fahrenheit, for example, uh, you could be losing quite a bit of terpenes if you're running that all the way to harvest.
Now, some folks will have their temperature upwards of that 80, 85 degrees or, or even a little bit higher than that all the way up till mid-flowering and then kind of back things down.
And I think if I remember correctly, Dr. B's, I'm just gonna call him Dr. B's from now on, [laughs] Dr. Bugbee, he, um, I think he mentioned 78 degrees Fahrenheit couple weeks before harvest was ideal and that's gonna kinda help reduce the, the terpene loss there.
So I thought that was a really good one, but that is one that, uh, uh, just like genetics, genetics, genetics, a lot of people are talking about the temperature as well and how that impacts terpenes.
