I was actually drawn to this post because I'd been doing some research (reading some scholarly journals) on increasing terpene production--and I came across some research using jasmonates that seemed promising. I'd already decided to try working with this stuff. To answer your question, the science seems loud and clear to me that this will increase terp production (activates farnesyl pyrophosphate pathway), should also lead to higher THC though that wasn't my concern.after all these years is there REALLY a miracle spray that increases trich production by 30-40 %,, i remember using gravity and thinking the same thing, tho i dont believe there is any miracle spray that boosts plant growth, thc %, bud size etc..etc... etc...,,,, it doesnt exist, sorry man, i had to tell ya so u dont waste money
Not exactly so in this case, since I believe we are using a different type of jasmonate(dimethyl jasmonate and there's another one I can't remember atm) than the one in the studies that say it will induce response in other nearby plants.Another interesting finding is that when 1 plant in a room is sprayed with jasmonate in a room all of the surrounding plants respond with a defense mechanism and increase trich production also .It seems that if there was gonna be a side by side experiment that there would have too be two totally separated areas!Squiggly have you read that in your findings?Also i just received my bottle today so i will let everyone know what my findings are first hand >
hey squiggly, When you say MeJa and 2MeJa are the same, do you mean similar like phosphate/phosphite? don't similar elements still react differently even w/ the minor change in oxygen molecule? is 2MeJa the dimethyl jasmonate? sounds like your saying it is just a water molecule added to it? shouldn't this affect the absorbtion rate?There is essentially no difference between MeJa and (H20)2MeJa--the second is simply a hydrated form. The annhydrous form is only necessary if you're doing a reaction with the stuff that is water-sensitive.
As for the spider mites fucking off--seems in line with control of defense systems to me.
In the end I think the 3 most important things to terpene production (besides obviously nutrient availability) are (in this order).
1. Genetics (and perhaps hormone mediated responses--which we can toy with).
2. Temperature (should be strain dependent).
3. Light cycle/Intensity (I can't shake the feeling that THC/terpenes are cannabis's sunscreen--the chemistry makes too much sense for it not to be).
