Oh, yeah, that was the skunky aroma paper. The later two studies go more into this.

They use ice-hash rosin because it's free of contaminants, and the high concentration makes it easier to analyze with their methods, I think.

You definitely can have 2 % terpene flower with an aroma that overpowers a 3 % terpene sample. Even terpenes are not equally strong in their odor potency, and you can have a very low concentration of camphene overpowering the high pinene contents of a sample.

The higher terpenes level will help to have a strong taste as well not only the smells,I really don't believe a bud with higher terpenes can have less taste than a lower one. I have never send anything to a lab so I have no idea of the content of my own grown buds but I've noticed a stronger taste since I've switched to LED and this is due to higher terpenes content. The lower temps in the grow room allow the plants to keep more terpenes in the flowers this translates in stronger taste;
All those research around taste in cannabis is another sign the aromas are taken more and more seriously and it is today easier to find good tasting flowers than ever.

bottom line is, the science behind cannabis cannabinoid compounds is still in its infancy. one day someone will find the perfect combination of specific compounds for specific needs. Untill then I rely on my palate and my kuntz that that tested lower terpenes than my apples and bananas has a lot more taste to it than its counterpart and yet the apples and bananas smells a lot stronger than the kuntz

Personally I don't remember any flowers who had a strong smell but a weaker taste, or the other way around from my experience the strong smells translate in strong taste. Maybe some long term storage can have an influence on this and modify the link between small and taste. I find this really strange, a stronger smelling buds with less taste than one with one lower smells is really not my experience.
I hope one day we'll be able to create exactly the aromas who want in our flowers or extracts. I've had one plant in decades with a green apple aromas, reall strong and obvious to everybody smoking the buds, I've never been able to find another plant with this terpenes profile and intensity and I' like to have again s plant able to create this scent/taste, it was one the best tasting buds I've had in my life, it came from a Sour-Jack cross not Karma's version, it was Twin Turbo Diesel x Jack Herrer#22. I've heard of the Sour-Apple clone who is made of Sour D x C99 and I'd like to grow this cross but I can't find it anywhere in pure form.
Sorry @VerdantGreen for the off-topic discussion, I hope you don't mind. Have you heard of the Sour-Apple clone ? Maybe you can have access to it? it would ne nice if you could make S1 with this plant.

Pre 98 Bubba Kush clone only, Im very excited to try the original clone after growing several S1's.
Saw her done already in friends garden and what a beauty, full of resin.
She is grafted on Bandaid Haze 7 x A5Haze root stock and grows vigorously with reasonable stretch in flo.

2 weeks of flower, smelling of chocolate/coffee at this stage.

But the best in flavor was the Bubba from Cryptic labs

I grew a full pack a while back and got between 4-6 females of the bubbagum from cryptic. smelled nice but again lacks flavor like 95% of hyped up stuff out there so didnt keep it. im not looking for your average jo bubba. anyone who smoked the real bubba and grows anything close to it knows that pretty much everything else is a watered down version. The taste is supposed to explode in your mouth and even the smoke in the room is danker than dank, not your average joint smell, like road kill dank. Its really special like the real garberville PK. Back in the day around here we had biker strains like freezeland,jean guy,strawberry,garberville PK and we used to grow with Peters 20-20-20 lol. What all these strains had in common was the immediate explosions of flavor in your mouth when you smoked a joint. Now pretty much everything else i grow from seeds is like Meh, much more subtle on pretty much everything, I must have grown close to 100 different strains out there,from multiple banks, tried close to 10 brands of nutrients and rarely did i ever find anything good in terms of taste intensity. I guess its the hardest trait to breed into another strain.

That's a beauty, nice to make hash with all the trichomes on her leaves. Will she get more purple in the last week or stay mostly green?

Yes, Bubba usually does get some color on the leafs, especially with lower temps.

Here it is @ 10 weeks, I took down the upper buds on week 8 to compare the effect. The smell is much better with later harvest though, more pronounced coffee hashy tones. I must say this clone is one of the best tasting cannabis I have ever sampled...and that is without any cure at all. Curious how it develops in a month..

even with a peyote purple cross (peyote cookies), i detect that bubba terp that i think i'm allergic to (found it originally in the katsu bubba kush, and talked about it in its thread).

it becomes hard to inhale, and feels like my lungs fill up with fluid with the peyote cross as with the katsu, just not nearly as bad as the katsu.

i really enjoy the effect of the katsu, and i'm afraid much is lost in the cookies cross with the peyote purple; i find much of the same relaxation (after initial blastoff) and introspection, but the cookies in the cross (seems to me cookies just does this) seems to narrow everything, thins out the experience so to speak.

it hits the same bells as i'd expect from a bubba, the bells just ain't ringing as loudly. i know it's cookies kush and not just gsc, but nonetheless i get the same lower ceiling and dulled fx i typically get from the usual cookies (and this is not to disparage those that adore cookies stuff, i understand many people respond favorably to the fx, and most cookies and the crosses do smell and taste really very nice).

if my instincts are right, i bet peyote purple on its own would be one of my favorite smokes. would love to be able to find it someday.
