hi Sam!
1. in one of hash church videos you have said that "the higher in the mountains, the better". you have also told you found no correlation between uv-b and potency of cannabis. my question is what do you suppose or know for sure make high altitude grown weed better?
on a side note, here are 2 reports on greenhouse and od grown buds which shows negligible differencies in terpenes, both ratio and total content. i guess unless uv-b transparent coverings were used for gh, it seems that confirms that uv-b doesn't affect terpenes.

2. you said that you like how limonene affect thc the best, while you don't particularly like what myrcene, pinene or linalool do to thc.
did you try thc+terpinolene? what puzzles me is that you say you like sativas generally and limonene in particular while the majority of sativa/nld samples i've seen all have terpinolene as a hallmark terpene, with relatively little limonene.
i've seen only 1 original haze terpene test which is limonene dominant.
so do you have all your personal haze, thai, indian samples tested as limonene dominant? hybrids which are readily available on the market are all mostly terpinolene dominant. could it be you may actually like terpinolene as well?
on a side note, many samples at sclabs which are limonene dominant are not really sativas at all.

3. could you please describe in short how do 5 major (pinenes, myrcene, limonene, linalool and terpinolene) terpenes affect thc the way you see it? i mean there are plenty of reports which says that - roughly - pinene is for focus, myrcene is for bodystone etc., but i'd like to hear what you'll say on that matter since you actually smoke thc+ many of those terpenes yourself so you know it first hand.
4. what's the metabolic cycle for terepene production, ie do they fill the glandular trichomes at any stage and then these trichomes become "sealed" and stay unchanged till harvest and plant "move on" to "filling" trichomes on newly developed offshoots, or it is a constant process and all trichomes' content being constantly "updated" up until harvest so both old and new trichomes have the same terpene composition? i am sorry i'm not educated guy so this is the best i can describe, i hope you get my gist.
5. which terpenes cause weed to stink? or perhaps its not terpenes so better say which compounds do it?
for example, myrcene being described as "an yellow oily liquid with a pleasant odor", i suppose both limonene and linalool also have pleasantly scented odors, so how come for example karma's headbanger with the terpenes' ratio of 2:3:1 for myrcene:limonene:linalool ends up being described as stinky, putrid, "dirty diapers" etc. sort of smells? is it too high of a terpenes content which make low concentration pleasant odors start to stink at higher concetration?
6. besides providing plants with soil microorganisms and allowing them to develop fine root system what else can be done to improve terpene production and reduce terpene loss during flowering stage? i would assume less heat and no negative pressure (strong centrifugal fans with passive intake), is it correct? what about ventilation? does too much air movement help evaporate terpenes?
7. last but not least, could you please recommend how to best dry/cure buds to preserve terpenes?
i apologize if you have answered some of these questions already.

lant-matter ratio being higher, and the quality is stunning. The downside is you have to veg longer for the same yield, since there is no tropical explosion of plant matter growth. The end result is a smaller flower structure, which appears much more trichome dense. Plants simply do not grow as tall/large in the dry/cool climates you find in mountain regions.
