How to bring terps and essential oils out on a strain?

So i was talking to someone who lives in Cali and he claims that some people out there have a way to bring out terps and essential oils on a strain. I told him sure, its gotta be either bottled terpene booster, freeze drying the weed or organics and he said it wasnt.
Any idea of what else it could be?

It's the Sun's intensity, a low dew point and low humidity during flowering. Cali has been known for growing the best of everything from melons to grapes because of these growing conditions.

I think environmental pressures/stresses and genetics determine it and there's no snake oil .Terpenes also play a role in survival and you can preserve them better them with proper curing and handling though but strains have different shelf lives..

no doubt but we were talking about indoor growing
Yes indoors too friend, the dew point, humidity, and wind velocity play the biggest part in the production of the excess resin on the flowers when matched with good light. Where I've grown it's extremely difficult to maintain a near-perfect VPD or steady environment. I still have super weed but not like CA weed.

The Vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is one of several methods growers use to measure humidity in a greenhouse or growing environment. It allows growers to gauge the impact of humidity on plant growth and development.

Vapor pressure deficit
Measures the difference between the amount of water vapor in the air and the maximum amount the air can hold at its current temperature. VPD is expressed in units of pressure and is a more accurate way to predict plant transpiration and water loss than RH. VPD is also a key driver of evapotranspiration in plants. Google

Who knows. No one knows.

Cali doesn't have loud weed. They haven't since the real growers stopped working with those pieces of shit. They've been riding off the reputation of 35 years ago.

See for yourself. Sign up with Ganjier. They will tell you Sour Diesel was actually named Our Diesel and isn't sour but smells like a shoe store.

I will never grow cannabis without rabbit manure or it's equivelent again. The effect on terpene/cannabinoid complexity and quantity is readily noticeable.

I make a shelf stable, liquid extract which works as a foliar, soil drench and in hydro. In another year or so, when my current business is running solid, I'll be making it available to others. Until then it is back on the shelf waiting.

Rabbit manure didnt do anything in terms of terps for me. Only alpaca manure made a noticable effect in terms of taste and believe me, I tried almost everything. Try it and I guarantee you that your business wont be selling rabbit poop anymore lol.
