not co2. just washed out genetics.
Hi, nothing else more than the same LED`s. They just change the name. There is no such thing as LED`s made for CO2.
Hi, there is studies supporting the idea that the higher part of the plants are the higher concentration of essential oils or secondary metabolites. Nor your organic soil or your lights are making it better, try looking for the real reason, maybe it is genetics.
I think in your first sentence you are agreeing with me that heat from big lights will degrade the Terps ?
Nope, I didn`t. Read my entire response, I don`t know what you grow, and personally don`t care.

Well, you suggest heat from the lights radiation causes the buds to lack of smell and taste, and I said clearly in my response that the higher the buds, the higher concentration of secondary metabolites, which isn`t the same. So I don`t agree with what you say and I am not saying the same as you, to make it clear. In the article you quoted and linked doesn`t say anything about what you said before, in fact, you took one paragraph to make your point, because in the article talks clear as water that the 70ºF temps is after the harvest to preserve the content of terpenes on the harvested buds, not while growing.@hambre I did read your entire response and that is how i understood it. If you aren't inclined to explain it further then there is not much i can do. I thought it was generally accepted that some terpenes evaporate at quite low temperatures.
"Some terpenes will begin to evaporate off at temperatures as low as 70°F, although most will begin to degrade at around 100°F.
This has real effects not only for the taste and smell of the cannabis product, but also its effects."

Thanks for the civil response.
The bulb temperature of a 600W HPS is 450C (841F), according to Philips SON-T spec sheet.
No problem, I don`t want to be mean or anything, and english isn`t my native language so bear with me, please.
Hi, no, it doesn`t explain it. Nobody with their right mind would put a bulb stick to their buds, obviously they burn and that is what consequently will make the smoke harsh, not the absence of terpenes. And you can have hundreds of lights on a room but it won`t be 450ºC, right? Why? Because we control the temperature. I did HPS a lot but never even once burnt my tops, never.
Never? Wow, well done. I might have turned a couple brown in my time.
But they don't even need to get anywhere near that close for a lot of the volatiles to evaporate.. You can smell it.
No, never, thank God. Over fertilization burns the plants, which at the end, it is the same as burning them with heat, I would think. So, yeah, that is one fair reason to harsh smokes and lack of taste, obviously hahaNever? Wow, well done. I might have turned a couple brown in my time.
Anyway, the "usual suspects" for crappy mersh are overfertilization and PGRs. They call this "dilution" in the scientific papers (full disclosure: only read papers about overfertilization that validate this, not PGRs).
Easy to think of it as a plant always producing the same amount of cannabinoids/terpenes despite the biomass. But more accurately I suppose it's just easier to increase the amount of biomass than these compounds.. So the proportions get out of whack
As CO2 also increases the biomass, it's only logical that it would contribute to the same effect. But maybe not so much as in the CO2 somehow scrubbing out the goodies, just the "dilution effect"?
