to that terp profile or analysis. it sure is interesting to see what terps and in what amount are present in some sample, it is usually about one plant right...,,, not some bunch of plants, but even it is bunch of plants, it is not useful anyhow for me in breeding for effect - so mainly selection according to smoke effect in different situations. terps has huge impact on effect, thats true, but you cant say how it will smoke according to that terp charts... two different varieties can contain a lot of limonene or alfapinene or myrcene.. yet it will smoke very differently. limonene is in og kush or in oaxacan in good portion, yet both smokes differently. you cant say there is certain % of limonene(which can differ from plant to plant in one variety), it will smoke like this... no... because the effect is about quality and not about some amount, amount of certain terpene or amount of thc. durban smoke speedy and energetic, while it contains like 12 - 15% of thc on average, and Nova Og has like 28% of THC and it is narcotic sedative smoke... but you cant say it from reading any chart... same for terpene content... you have to smoke or vape it in the end...
there are too many elements. maybe one day. with quantum computer, we can count it somehow... but I dont think it will match how our brain counts it - just every part of our body has some cannabinoid receptors - it is called the endocannabinoid system, we were created to experience cannabis intake... it is about experience for me and not about science...
you cant breed for effect according to science... hehehhehehehhe. I know it sounds good, but it doesnt work like... the problem is observer - in your case smoking subject, like in quantum physics.. I like that some quantum physicians admit that while they are doing it, they lack understanding of it, as we all dont live in quantum world, as for us the stone is the stone and not the wave LOL hard to understand. although I would recommend them to try psychedelics to experience the wave in consciousness.. just lil dreamy theorizing here hahahha..
and from psychological point of view, which is more important for me than some objective analysis, we don't know more of 70% of what is happening, as our psychic system is doubled, ego/id or consciousness/unconsciousness, and when it is 70% of all psychic process are unconscious contents, you cant make it conscious by some objective analysis LOL you can make it conscious only by process called assimilation.. but that is about transformation of your consciousness.. which experience of good thai weed can be part of...
yeah you can say that higher content of monoterpenoids can cause long lasting aftertaste... like at oaxacan79,,, but what effect it will deliver you dont know according to it. you still have to smoke it anyway...
I am breeding for the effect. at first. I cant select according to those terps charts... so it is useless to me, however it can be interesting to see it.. great tasting weed without the effect I want is useless for me...
but for example at gradnfunk we achieved pungent and great tasting weed with good intense thai-like high - pungent due to trainwreck genetics which is mix of mexican and thai sativas with hint of indica... or mindblower is absolutely fantastic tasting with intense choc thai high... if you can find good pheno, and you can find it easily...
it may be attractive to some customers, these terp charts. but I dont give a fuck LOL I breed for the effect...
this all my opinion. I am always eager to learn something new, but in this, it is quite clear for me... breeding starts with dreaming, and some concepts in mind,,,, but in the end it is about how the smoke works for me and others imo. how it is working... and how it is working you can only say based on experience.
are you experienced? c´mon... new grass, new girls.. c´mon.. ahahahhaha
back to the work... it is great work, when you still smoke-test different individuals... I love it!!!
we smoke-tested mother of acid beauty, one summer camping,,, we smoke the most psychedelic nevilles haze available and mother of acid beauty there. one joint of Nhz, after couple of hours joint of acid haze... for a month or so.. very psychedelic camping I tell you... and we decided acid haze is more psychedelic than nhz... it has higher ceiling, longer duration more energy to it etc... crazy times... you cant go to normal work when you are smoke-testing such weed LOL it is intense hahahaha and your brain get reprogrammed hehehhehehehe. but we did it for you too... it was not all about our enjoyment, it was hard work. indeed! so now you dont have to go through 50 females of unstable haze or landrace to find that plant. all you have to do is to pop 10 seeds of acid beauty, and with high probability you will get it... that all thanks to proper systematic smoking... paying attention to nuances etc...
soon I tell you, to what levels I divide haze experience. one is mental, one is emotional, one is energetic... stay tuned folks
