Let’s talk terps

Watch again the plants, repeat this question in your mind. Watch again the plants, repeat this question in your mind. Watch again the … :rofl:

update : And do a couple of “solo cup challenge” asap. It’s a tradition in OG, it always turn cool and you even get prizes sometimes.

Got a book you may like… called “Thus Spoke the Plant” :green_heart:

There was a point i looked everywhere for something that showed proof of an “energetic” or “stimulating” strain.
You can look for “tail flick” and scroll down to the graphs.

@3bombedmice sorry about the mice.

I grew something with wicked burnt rubber terps but it Hermed.

I have an 88g13hp I’ve selected to lean towards the g13

I too have had this odd obsession, oddly enough that I focused on making a database with over 12K lab testing results, and from the Open Cannabis Project. It’s a big spreadsheet on my G-Drive with Cannabinoids, and Terp % for most major strains, plus since it’s from real samples, there are maybe 10 tests of some to confirm the consistency from multiple growers and labs.

You can also use it to see relational matches, such as what terps tend to stick together, regional terps, offset terp matches, cancelation of terps, etc.

I saw a interview with Mean Gene of Freeborn, and his Candelabra tested for like 23 diff terps. Most I see in my test results maybe test for like 6-10 terps. So, by breeding for a more full terp palate, you can achieve great highs, or by breeding two like strains that have terps that fill in gaps of where that terp isn’t present.

For Experiment #1: Ocimene

Ocimene offers a sweet, woodsy fragrance and holds various therapeutic properties, including anti-convulsant, anti-fungal, and anti-tumor activity. It has also been shown to act as a decongestant and an expectorant (causes coughing) when inhaled.

Sample Name Ocimene
PT13-Purple Train 13 0.937
Clemontina 0.724
Purplegasm Truffula Tree 0.7
WR-15-White Rabbit 15 0.675
SFH9-San Fernando Haze 9 0.674
Tropical Sleigh Ride #5 0.641
Dream Queen 0.624
Royal Kush 0.577
Goofy Grape 0.577
Clementine #2 0.562
Super Lemon Haze 0.532
Golden Lemon 0.517
Veganic Super Lemon Haze 0.51
Laughing Buddah 0.5
Eden Farms- Edens Poison 0.491
Pac Man 0.484
Dutch Treat 0.478
Tropical Fruit Bomb 54c 0.475
Templeton Haze 0.474

My thoughts are you can try to breed in one direction for one purpose and make a solid medicine from it. For ex, make a (Royal Kush x Tropical Slieigh Ride ) - Royal Sleigh Ride, Ocimene slayer…

Do that across the board of terps… breed for the most amount of terps, highest terp %, terps you enjoy most, terps that have big medicinal effects, etc.

Ah that’s interesting! Some of my NorthStar(c5sensistar x a5/nl5) phenos will clear you out off a single hit. Eyes watering, nose running like a faucet, and definitely gets that chest loosened up quite a bit. Legit was calling it my waterfall weed for a bit there. Lost the cut I had of it tho.
