Interesting stuff man.

Lately ive been trying to reproduce a neipa from treehouse and going dee into different hop studies. Aparantly saccaromyces produce an enzyme that hydrolizes glucosides present in the plant material of the hops, it so happens that a lot of hydrocarbons (oxigenated and not) can easily bind to sugars. Thus releasing an extra layer of oils. Moreover yeast somehow can also biotransform terpenes into terpenoids or even change the terpene into another one, fucking mental. It seems terpenoids are the most stable and least volatile and dont react to oxygen the same way terpenes do.
Interesting world that of organic chemistry.

Researching Sweet Mary's volatile organic compounds has been an eye opener for me, and drags me deeper and deeper down the rabbit hole...........

Especially interesting was how they readily change one into the other for commercial and industrial uses. IE:, More b-Myrcene is made from Pinene, that is collected from plants.

Indeed man.

I found nteresting how you claimed to feel differently when dabbing different terpenes, I have a copy cat re engineered amnesia haze that is high as fuck in d limonene and the high is alert and clear at the start from the rush of that terpene, then obviously the real good nl3 genetics beared from the mother from like 4 or 5 cubings.

The best breeder to me, Mario Bellandi, claims he bred cannabinoid heavy plants from aroma alone from helping junkies recover with cannabis and he found, fromn what he told me, that plants smelling like coconut/pine apple and cherry(especially the cherry ones) seemed to help them the most. I suppose the terpene profile of a plant will be associated with its cannabinoid profile too, i suppose thats the reason why there are no two strains alike. The hydrocarbons that can be present on a plant of this family can go up to 500 different types, including different forms of the same terpene. This could in turn dictate (or maybe the other way around lol) what cannabinoids might the plant produce. Thamn i stoned gonna have more shatter.

ps.: man even if you dont drink beer, have a go at making something that tastes and smells like extremely good quality hops. I see it as making a ''shatter'' from hops, try and get those hydocarbons into a 7/8% abv hazy serum with solvent like qualities stink more and better than the original starting material is a noble cause, just like making propper shatter.
