I don't know anything about. I've always thought UV light had something to do with it. @Seraphine (I think it was) recently said increasing sulfur during flower helps terpene production. Someone else said increasing magnesium will help buds be denser. Epsom salt has both. Maybe that would be good to supplement starting mid flower. I haven't done it before. But, might try it in a few weeks.

Products like botanicare sweet are mostly Mag Sulfate. Which i think would work better than including the sugar which the plant does not need and manufactures itself.

But of the plant has plenty of mag and sulfer available more will not help.

I use just plain yellow elemental sulfur in coco coir, about 1/2 teaspoon in the water once per week. Have to keep the water agitated because the stuff I use isn’t water soluble. It’ll work its way into your medium. Have to be careful because it will also lower the acidity of your soil if used too much.

It’s also good for soil pest control/prevention.
