Terpene Accumulation Mapping

⚗️ Science First mentioned: Ep. 163

The scientific study of how and where terpenes accumulate in the cannabis plant. Part of the Interpening methodology, this mapping identifies that different terpenes concentrate in different plant structures and at different stages of maturity, allowing trained evaluators to assess cannabis quality and predict effects through systematic sensory analysis.

Max Montrose described the concept of mapping terpene accumulation patterns as foundational to the Interpening evaluation framework. Different terpene combinations produce distinct sensations in different parts of the body.
