From what I understand terpene production is influenced by nutrition. If the plants don't have the necessary building blocks they can't produce the amount of terpenes that's genetically possible. I know nothing about Cha Ching regarding that. There are a lot of other things in plant physiology, like proper carbohydrate, protein and lipid production that must come first before the plant will dedicate available energy for terpene production. Not saying terpenes won't be produced just implying won't be as much as the plant is potentially capable of making.using fox farm cha ching in the last few weeks of flower will increase terpene production.
K sulfate is a good foliar for that. JKOn many aromatic herms sulphur has been shown to increase essential oil production. I have been boosting the mag-sulphate in the hopes of increased terpene. Haven't noticed much.
Proper healthy plants with little as stress as possible will give you the best yields in all areas.
Fawk that. I don't care how aromatic a herm is, it's getting the chop immediately. Unless that was a typo and its herb not herm? Otherwise I agree. A healthy plant that has the right genetics and environment will produce more terpenes than the exact same cutting cultivated in a poor environment. I'm not sure if this is a quality or quantity situation. A bigger plant might technically produce more mass but the stunted stressed plant might have higher levels of terpenes per weight. Kinda like grapevines that aren't pampered so that they have smaller sweeter grapes. I knew my sulfur burner wasn't a bad thing. Kills mold and increases available sulfur for terpene production? That would be cool.
Are you sure that terpenes are only produced in the trichomes? I could have sworn that I'd read that various terpenes (and flavanoids, we can generally lump them together as secondary plant metabolites, yes?) are produced in various areas of the plant.Terpene is produced in the trichomes same gland where THC is produced. If I am not mistaken Terpene is what the drug dogs smell not THC. Terpene % depends on different genos as some plants will produce more or less then others. As for the plants using terpenes as a defense mechanism from insects I never heard that. If I was you I would not mimic a insect attack as it may cause stress to your plants. If you still want to increase terpene there are products out there that can help...
If it's a Chemdog herming, I'm keeping it because I know it'll produce good budular. :pFawk that. I don't care how aromatic a herm is, it's getting the chop immediately.
