If you want more terpenes from your plants, you gotta do these three things. Each one is easy to do and will help your flowers reach top-shelf quality. If quality matters to you, don't miss this video.
Old school grower here, 30+ years, and not once did I ever give plants 48 hours of darkness because I thought terps would be enhanced. We did it because metabolites are dormant at night and stay within the root system, whereas day time it’s up in the plant to help photosynthesis. And those metabolites are what we thought have funky tastes. Even to this day, I always harvest before lights on. I do believe there is science to back this up as well. Then again, I could be wrong.
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
I'm sure Dr Bruce Bugbee says this is pure bro science and that you would be better off blasting it with light for 48 hours ...
Just out of curiosity, this "funky tastes" is this more of a skunky?
@@user-ri5ek5wj1l no. I know that smell and taste. More of that “green” taste. Hard to explain.
Kinda like a split between lawn clippings and dog sh!t smell ish more towards the clippings like 70% 30% lmao
I play guitar and sing to my ladies! All for the terpenes 🥳
Me to… good vibrations
Plants love Co2.
When it comes to smell. I never have noticed an increase in smell with darkness at harvest. Putting them into darkness is more of a done thing. Like when they spray soybeans with poison at harvest to get the whole field all done. The darkness doesn't help potency. But it does help curing and drying. I have noticed an increased smell with cold at harvest outdoors. I try to harvest when they bring out the loud smells. Not for peak thc, because peak smell makes more potent weed than peak thc. Most cup winners are only 18-21% thc, but always over 3.7% terpenes. All about those stinky terpenes. About 2-3 days of house stinking is harvest time. I have had plants that didn't stink. They weren't that good either. Higher terpenes makes more potent bud not higher thc%. Stress makes higher trepene levels. That stress puts them in survival mode. No longer perfect conditions. That's were good genetics show. Some cultivars have drought genetics that really ups the terpenes in a drought. Other like humid conditions like a jungle. It's about having info on your cultivar. I want pages of info not 4 sentences. That's the difference between good genetics and a hyped up name. Is good genetics come with proper information on the cultivar. Good genetics will have flowering times for indoor and outdoor. Good genetics will tell you if it is resistant or susceptible to stuff. Good genetics will tell you what they use to get proper terpene profile for cultivar. Good genetics come with a COA, and health certificate. Information on the cultivar makes good genetics. So you can match your environment to the right cultivar. Example there are a lot of heirloom vegetables I can't grow because they take too long for zone 4-5. I only have so many growing degree days here. Sunlight is not equal around the world either. Some plants grow better in partly shade. Like my blueberry patches growing bigger berries in the shade than full sun. Some cannabis cultivars were grown where sunlight wasn't as strong. So don't have genetics for desert sun.
The smells are the precious terps evaporating. You don't want them to smell. Even in a jar, if it smells, you are smelling the terps you are losing. If it doesn't smell, it is stabilized.
How do I find good cultivars? I've tried online stores 👎 Now it's finally legal where I live and there's stores popping up everywhere and they all have "experts" working there. This is my second attempt at growing, first time outdoors and I just used local seeds, (everything is from within the state at the stores and dispensaries). I'm going into my fourth week and they look great so far. I was a little late starting them for my zone but it was a last min decision to do it this year. Next year I'd like to be a little better prepared. Thanks.

Athena interviewed Dr. Bugbee and he said let the upper 70’s temps and matching rh go until your stretch is done in flower. Then lower your temps. They also said 76-78 degrees is optimal with atmospheric co2 during the veg into flower period. Great content guys!
I don’t know where you’re getting this from but Bugbee said optimal temps were mid 80s until week 4 of flower in that interview and then to start tapering off.
@@nolanmendoza43 that’s with co2 hence “atmospheric co2”

Good Stuff.
Hi Scott I just got 12 -5 gallon buckets with great soil and 56 grams of blue dot mixed well ready to start my 2nd grow wish me happy growing 😊
Keep your environment in check and do your best to leave your plants alone it was always hard for you not to open my tent all day long when I first started growing but now that I don't in my environment stays on Point all the time they grow like machines
@@dannyarmata8878 thanks could use all the good advice I can get 👍
Lose the 5 gallon pots dude. That is a technique for the experienced grower. You are not going to be successful in filling your jars with quality flower with those 5gal. We all learn from our mistakes, hopefully 😎. New growers crush with Earthboxes right out of the gate. Watch Jeromy's Build a soil videos to get accurate growing support for the dank. His advice is backed up with actual video of his techniques and quality bud. Compare Jeromy with any of the DGC. Or... spin your wheels with RUclips entertainment. At any rate enjoy the hobby navigating thru all of the bull💩 and real data.

Bought 1 years ago with that stimulus check and yeah it works great for drying but imo it doesn't cure as well as grove bags and glass. Sold it recently w no regrets
@@618grow to each their own
I mean, technically the drying and curing is a part of terpene production. My argument for this is that they're still developing fully through the breakdown of the sugars and such.
Another thing I would say is to avoid over-feeding, that can negatively affect the terpene production and introduce tastes that distract from the terps. Not really for producing terps, though to avoid contaminating the taste of terps with other unwanted tastes (like too much nitrogen and such). Worth looking towards ways to reduce the chlorophyl content during the final stages, as that is often a big distraction to clean terp tastes.
Great info!
Totally agree with "they're still developing fully through the breakdown of the sugars and such." You can physically observe this during the drying process when you compare nugs that are still attached to branches that are attached to the stalk to nugs that are hanging just from branch (no stalk), and the nugs that get detached from branch. The nugs that are fully detached dry quicker and end up in the trim pile. The buds that still have a line to the stalk tend to stay chunky with better terps and they're more visually pleasing. Smoke better too. The ones that are connected to branches wind up somewhere in the middle depending on how thick the branch they were attached to was.
I have noticed when you flip to flower. The first 2 weeks I start dropping the temp 2-3 degrees a day till I get it to mid 60s and turn up my lights to get my DLI up
Then, on the last week, I add an extra hour each day and drop temps a couple degrees each day trying to get to 56 to 60 at harvest
Just my opinion works for me
That’s some solid advice right there, thanks so much. I have started my first legal grow about a month ago, however temperature and humidity are both way too high right now, looking to fix that immediately🫡

I'm a lazy grower. Temps and RH are whatever they are, I don't even monitor them. No control except some ventilation (in-line fans).
Been growing nearly 40 years. Started in soil, now deep-water hydroponics.
Careful dry and cure. No one has ever complained about the quality.
I've noticed genetics and curing is the biggest factors when it comes to smell and taste, either they have it or they dont. Thanks for educating us.
There is definitely more to it.
Genetics are huge……some are great after 14 day dry, others need 14 day dry + 30 day cure to get a whiff of the potential! Correct humidity so that flowers don’t dry too fast is also Big to me!
I dry trimmed this round between days 7-9 and then allowed another 24 hrs of drying on a mesh rack at 60-65F 60 RH and then bagged em in grove bags. I still burped them bags religiously for weeks to get RH to 61%. After 6 weeks those terps start becoming prevalent. Keep your lung room dialed at all times especially when you burp them bags... patience pays off
Scottayy! My gpa is in his 70s, trying to make it as simple as possible to grow for him, bigg s/o to grow dots for making that possible! Also I soaked my scissors in recharge before I top my plants, not sure if it actually helps but the re growth has been quick 👏
Hell Yeah, So glad to hear he is growing in his 70's!

I'm an outdoor grower with the benefits and detractions that brings. Of the many detractions, giving up control of the environment is a big one - as well as being one of the many benefits - you focus on those things you can control.
Thanks for sharing 👍 I will be getting fat, frosty, tricome filled, terpine rich nugs indeed😊
I noticed you get a slight swelling of the buds but for terps I did not notice a difference. The biggest terp changer is to keep your tent from dipping under 45% humidity and allowing a chill to hit the air in the night create a 20 degree swing if possible for the last week or two 😅 also icing the soil twice is a must!
I feel sunshine for months and high terp profile is better than
Wall Street weed with high THC
Temperature is the hardest environmental thing to get on point. It's tough getting it down in summer unless ac is 100% full blast. Humidity here in southeastern PA is easily to deal with that iv noticed so far being a brand new grower
So true. Getting a temp down into the 60s in the summer on the East Coast is impossible unless the AC is running constantly.
Getting your environment set can be a hard and expensive thing to start but is worth it when you get there.
Interesting. I’m going to try this method. 48 before flower works great.
Good luck!
Thanks buddy.
In the early '90s we would grow over the winter in mid-Florida areas. We always brought our pots inside for 2-3 days of 24 hour light, because we were naturally at 10/14 light cycle. We'd do the final nutrient run inside and not really go for a full flush. We'd just run a balanced flow to bring up the sweet terps and push out the bitter or harsh fertilizer tastes. Cut back the water by half, and just watch the terps finish and start to get creamy. Cuts down on the drying time so you can start curing a lot quicker and cleaner. We'd get at least 15-25% more terps and trichomes. The perfect stalks and balls. 1970's guerilla grower taught my cousin, not realizing 12 year olds have big ears. Used it about 10 years later to pretty good success.
Hi Scott, Bugby also said even if it does make more trichomes they don’t have time to mature in a few days so they would be clear and small
That is true ,but his is to increase terpenes. Not just trichomes.
I must have missed the lecture but If Bruce Bugby said it, It's worth checking out.

Genetics is #1 but I think Mineralised Phosphate is so important, but I never see anyone using it.. Mineralized Phosphate is mined from caves and has potent phosphorus content. Mineralized phosphate has been known since ancient times to be a highly beneficial natural fertilizer. It provides nutrients to encourage large and plentiful blooms in your flowering plants, and to enhance the flavour of vegetables.
Awesome app
Thank you!
Sulfur is my favorite mineral for producing terps
Nice, Thanks for sharing.
V. P. D MAN. !!!!! MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE.

@@jimmcd12345 I'm about the same but even that is too dry
What are good ways to preserve terps? Can you talk about putting fresh bud in the regular freezer vs dry ice vs liquid N2?
Genetics and environment.
It depends if all my leafs are off or not.Some indicas with low leaf structure usually all the leafs are off.Whereas sativas are more leafy.The darkness stops the photosynthesis on the leafs is what I was always told.Has nothing to do with terps just stops the photosynthetic process while the plant stops producing chlorophyll and gets rid of that hay taste in theory.Ive never questioned it just always did it because I was taught too.😊
I'm about to try fress frozen now that I have a freeze dryer see if that will help
Enjoy!
I watched that same video. And I tried it, I really didn't have a side by didn't but i really didn't notice anything different Than last harvest and the harvest before that, but.
I tried it.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I'm trying the last 4 days with lights on...96 hours of light. I did turn my lights down to 75% so I won't go too far over the recommended DLI.
Thats a heavy push, chop some at 48 hours to compare because i think past 48hours your going to get some trich degradation and potency loss
Let us know how it goes!
Hell yeah bro
i got a cheep timer from a box chain has wifi for phone and lots of settings one is daylight it automatically turns of and on when the sun comes up and goes down i am trying that for some bell peppers as a test

Thats what i learned today
I got to ask. What are your thoughts on the cannatrol.? I’ve had one for a year and had no problems. Been growing over 40 years
They seem like a decent product if you have the budget.
I a sense you want to transition from mid summer outside all the way to inside a hospital conditions through flower that’s my general goal or as close as possible
For maximizing terpenes, flavonoids, esters, and thiols, low temps, proper nutrient ratio for the basic stuff, little extra sulfur. For increasing how long they last. I hang dry the whole plants for as long as possible between 60 and 70f at 55-65% humidity, then I begin trimming and store at progressively lower humidity levels at the same temperature as the hanging plants till my long term storage jars have the 32% packs meant for instruments in them so the bud grinds just right, and smokes almost perfect, some varieties have to be prevented from long curing and after the 1st run or 2 you will figure it out.

Solely organic, fabric 3 gallon pots lst and top twice normally so 8 colas or more on each plant trained on trellis net use bio biz soil and products. No complaints great smells and sticky trichomes all over, my normal indoors temp is 75 Fahrenheit, I don’t run any ac I don’t control rh either and my plants grow great, no tents either my grow room “boxes” are made from 1.2 m square sheets of 5mm bathroom Whitewall plastic 4 together stood up makes a square with 1.2m high sides 👍light hung in centre same again for 2nd lamp with oscillating fans everywhere and it looks great I have trouble getting to low 60’s for drying and curing it’s often harvested hung in a dark cupboard approx 23oC. when sticks snap into jars n then dark place burp daily. I deffinatky loose terps somewhere and I have trouble with potency of the weed but it looks awesome sticky and caked in crystals. Then when it comes to the smoke I’m always a bit dissapointed it’s hard to grow Amsterdam quality bud at home 😬
V.P.D on the LOW ENDS reaaaally limit overall growth. I found on the high end, I was able to pull off 2 4 oz autoflowers when it was peak summer and regrettable to grow inside. Tent was beyond 100F and 80-95% for the last month but LUCKILY zero budrot and the biggest plants to date. Was my first grow lol.
With AUTOS I was stressing but kinda rolling with it because of noticing high heat and humidity with some worm castings and daily watering, they grow the way they need with the limited veg time they get. Helps to get OG indicas like afghani/cheese/skunk etc.
One reeked of purple grape candy. The loudest terps for anything non skunky in my experience. Ill probably never pull it off again.

@@ScottyReal420 thanks, I will check it out. I like to keep humidity around 45-50% in the room. Tents hold their humidity after watering and a dehumidifier in the hallway takes care of too high humidity. The room across the hall from the grow room has four electric guitars and recoding equipment that costs more than all my grow stuff put together. It’s a balancing act between growing plants and keeping the guitar necks from getting out of whack. The only goal is to smoke good weed while playing guitar. My setup is all about compromising to find a good average. I don’t want the whole lower level to feel like the tropics but I don’t entirely ignore the environment in the room. One benefit in a slightly lower humidity is no problems with mold, mildew or pests (with the exception of curios cats).
@@ScottyReal420 thanks, checked out a VPD chart and I’m not that far off that it’s in the red. Common sense dictates temperatures and humidity that aren’t extreme in either direction. Environment I knew was my greatest challenge and admittedly has to be compromised at times. House rules, I have one space and it can’t be too dank. Granny used to partake fifty years ago but doesn’t have any dog in this fight in 2024. I shut it down a month or so in the summer then restart seedings that like it hot. I know the limitations and have to plan around extreme weather that affects the indoor environment.
The reason for me to dry and cure in the dark is ,it takes very little light to continue mold growth, if you missed it while trimming it will spread in poor conditions (humidity, light, lack of airflow) ,I like recharge! Used many . like Cheryl Crow sang keep on growing Peace

Does the temperature matter if is a sativa or India I think it does and do you add co2 in dark or light???
I am not sure about the Indica/Sativa temperature difference, but you add Co2 during the light period. Co2 controllers have a light sensor and with shut off Co2 in the dark
I use a fruit and veg jadam mixture to grow and bring out my terp profiles.
Just let then dry in the pot best i ever had i had no choice to do it but it worked out
Ohhh shitt sonnn! This makes alot of sense
Interesting.
Great vid, I have a question thats been floating around in me head since bruce bugbee said that 48hrs of darkness does NOT increase terpenes. Sure, turning the light off may slow down terpene production BUT I wasnt giving my plants the darkness to increase the production, I gave them no light to do 2 things, signal to the plant its about to die and to do what it can to get laid but also to prevent a loss of the terpenes due to them evaporating off because of the light/heat from the light.
So im wondering if while the darkness may not produce more terpenes (As shown by bruce) does it prevent the loss of terpenes meaning at the end your plant will have more even if its not actually produced more ?
I've always wondered if the 48 Hours of dark doesn't increase terpene, but does it turn the terpenes that are already there from clear to cloudy or cloudy to Amber?
The trichs can mature after the chop. It is a misconception that when the plant is cut, it dies and stops doing stuff.
Its very much alive and even when it "dies", if the water activity is high enough the enzymes inside it are still working breaking down things and converting other things to be released as gasses, Ethylene being one of them which can cause overbrowning or over ripening of buds post chop. If you use runoff water from plants which are ready to chop, the ripening hormones in that water can be used to bring on early ripening in your next harvest by about a week. It was shown the chemical changes during curing still happen 9 months after they were chopped though, even after there is no more water activity, where terpenes and other compounds change and the potency for the first time since the first weeks after chop, increases again.
Thank you for sharing this.
Harvest time, is usually before sunrise..right?
(Why does legal weed smell like swimming pools?)
How do xylem and phloem contribute to terp production?
I have found herbs dried in the sunlight smelling good, but they taste terrible…just saying…
I like the “follow what would happen in nature” ideas.
Thanks guys!
A bit confused about 48h cycle, what is the dark time then after 2 days nonstop light? Also 48?
It is not necessary how long do you think it will take for a triochemen to grow, at least not in 48 hours.
voc’s don’t produce in heat or light because they are “volatile” they vaporize.
I store all mine in brown paper grocery bags. As far as flavor I learned all too well last year that whatever your soil smells like that's what your buds are gonna taste like.
How do you make a login for the real growers app?

So, how do I get the perfect VPD in an 11x12’ room, two small tents and a drying tent? The room is in the northwest corner of a Minnesota finished split level and the room was intended for storage and doesn’t have duct work. My tents are too small to put humidifiers and dehumidifiers in them (2x4 and it’s not unusual to have seedlings, vegging plants, flowering plants and drying plants going at the same time.
This being the tundra it’s not unusual for outside temps to be -20 and dry in the winter with the humidifier using more RO water than my plants and like now in May an inch of rain every other day and and running the dehumidifier 24/7.
VPD is just a fantasy with my setup I will never achieve at my level of growing and available space and equipment budget. Knowing that I try to do my best on temp and humidity and double down on the things I can control.
I get decent results by starting out with good genetics from reputable breeders. I figure if it’s rated as 30% and I only get 25% it’s still way better than the 5% of my youth.
If I were to take this VPD advice as absolutely necessary I’d have never started growing. A balance between simplicity and perfection can still produce good results better than store bought.
I can relate to that. You do what you can with what you have.
Man that’s some extremes! Definitely gotta be a challenge growing in those conditions.

I like it, nice and easy.
I don’t agree with the lights on 48 hours.
Lights on vaporizes them, lights off gives the plant time to restore them. I smell the most when lights are on, that means my terps are in the air vs on my plant. Im gonna research this more but im thinking the opposite of you.
Exactl, thres alot of bad science here
They smell more because the temps are higher not because the lights are on.
If you want the least chlorophyll, brightest green nugs, most sugar and sweetest flavour from your stuff going into dry, try 48 hours of light and keep your temps lower, and it was shown that plants left in the dark for over 48hours lost potency and terps because the plant goes into the dying process without light for that long it begins eating itself, you don't get that from 48hours of ligjt

Ambient temp and leaf surface temps are totally different
04:11 That's not correct like this. The 48 hrs should let you slide in the dying process... But you're content is super. Thank you so far 💗
I think VPD is a bit of a gimmick. I calculated mine and I'm pushing 2.4 and I'm not having any problems growing.
Basic science shows when Temperature rises humidity LOWERS and when Temperature lowers humidity rises.
• Temperature
• Humidity
• Dew Point
• VPD *
I starred VPD as this is probably one of the most important factors when growing Cannabis that goes under the radar.
I know when to feed my plants due to the VPD levels in my room. I get my data via a Hygrometer + Smart Humidifier all controlled via app. When VPD increases due to heat the Stomata start to close so therefore the ladies stop their nutrition intake via leafs (foliar feeding pointless at this point) and start pumping those roots for water/nutrition. Depending on the VPD level is how I feed my girls lol.
• Stomata Opening
As VPD increases, stomata get smaller.
• CO2 uptake
As VPD increases and stomata get smaller, CO2 uptake gets reduced.
• Transpiration
As VPD increases, the plant transpires (evaporates from leaves) faster due to the larger difference in vapor pressures between the leaf and the air.
• Nutrient intake at the roots
As VPD increases, and transpiration increases, the roots pull in more nutrients. The plant is like one connected system of plumbing!
So I'm at work on nightshift right now and my green room is currently:
● 26.4°C
● 62% RH
● 1.29kPa (VPD)
● 18.6°C (Dew Point)
