Chill out Chemmy.....
You didn't answer my question then did you? N does not effect terp profiles in the same way as those I listed.
If you can't get over being called a moron....Try having MMG accuse you of everything short of Murder and call you names...
I can live with Moron,,,,,that's easy....
And I say the kids right.....You can not taste specific differences in the results from different nutrient lines! Not after a proper dry and cure.....That all goes back to "confirmation bias" again!
Now organic to synthetic - You betcha!
Get it now? No insults here. Your just looking at it from a skewed perspective.
you add "in the same way".
nitrogen will affect terpene profile. sniff weed fed nitrogen to the end- at harvest, that is a terpene profile, it is now affected by a fertilizer compound named nitrogen. without the nitrogen the terpene profile would be different than with the nitrogen, thus=the nitrogen has affected the terpene profile aye.
could go on with many nutrient components. on and on even.
I cant tell you which brand of fertilizers were used of course. I can tell you if it was correctly grown though even a couple weeks in a drying room will be obvoius.=over fed, under fed, etc several ways, tissue samples, sniffs, tastes, burns, etc.
also, what you do to chemically change the profiles of weed after its harvested....like fermenting excess unburned carbs out of the cabbage parts has nothing to do with proper feeding while the plant is alive. Many things could be done to drying weed to change profiles as you admit.
either way, good weed can be detected before fermentation by experienced lovers of cannabis.
If I grew for weight or photos I'd pack those girls to the max, wouldnt be able to smoke them normally though, until they ferment some. But I care not of weight or photo's my weed is awesome as soon as its dry, sometimes before dry even.
