Many factors, including the climate, weather, maturity level of the plant, the used fertilizers, the soil type the plant grows in and even the time of day have influence on a plant’s development of terpenes.

And there are more than 4.

Environment can change the smell and taste.

the ones i know of are myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, pinene, lilool. I guess thats 5 that are found in cannabis. There a 100 different combinations of those terpenes

Out door can be influenced by surroundings. Grow near a pine thicket or in the middle of honey suckle. Peppers can cause a spiciness. I say you could grow mint or peppers or a small pine indoors and influence smell and taste.
yeah exactly. like your not supposed to plant kidney beans i believe by tomatoes because they taint the taste.

Environment can enhance the development of the terpenes that are genetically present in the plant. Environment does not magically make different terpenes appear.

IOW, if a strain you are growing has a genetic predisposition to smell like lemon, your environment can contribute to the intensity of the lemon smell/taste..... but the environment will not change that lemon smelling plant to a skunk smelling plant.

I never said it did. I'm not talking about magic. There over a hundred different terpenes in cannabis.

Environment influences terpenes, outdoors more than in.

Wouldn't that be depend on the environment and not necessarily indoors or out? It could be in a bad environment inside or out and not have good terpene production.

P-
That is what I was getting at. That things in the environment can effect the smell and taste dramatically, good and bad.

I was also just saying that when outdoors certain plants or areas can influence it a lot.

Yes you did. You said that any plant that you grow around pine trees suddenly tastes like pine.

Short of magic, Im not aware of any other way to accomplish that
Haha! well it may not change the lemon To pine, but it may Add pine taste to it, same thing with the bananas, or even shit... i actually sprayed this animal stopper on one time and could Never get the smell out of the bud.. but honestly i dont know anything...

Well, Im no expert but this doesn't seem plausible to me.

I have a veggie garden with a pine tree on one end of it. The cucumbers grown on that end of the garden taste the same as the ones grown on the other end. None have a pine taste.

In the '70's I knew people that grew in corn fields. Their weed always had a slight corn taste to it. You could tell it was from the corn fields, no matter what strains they grew.

I have a number of years under me.

We are not talking veggies.

You grow next to pine, you get pine

You got any out door experience. Not on a patio, real deep in the woods?

Terpenes are in all kind of plants. Its what makes pine smell pine and a lemon smell lemon.
The time of day influences terpenes. Why would a pine tree with terpenes not effect terpenes on cannabis.

Cannabis ruderalis is a species of Cannabis originating in central Russia. It flowers earlier than C. indica or C. sativa, does not grow as tall, and can withstand much harsher climates than either of them. Cannabis ruderalis will produce flowers based on its age, rather than light cycle (photoperiod) changes which govern flowering in C. sativa and C. indica varieties.[1] This kind of flowering is also known as "autoflowering".[2]
