// Definition
The phenomenon where the dominant terpene profile of cannabis changes over months of curing as more volatile terpenes evaporate and less volatile ones become dominant. A strain may start with one aroma profile fresh and develop a completely different character after extended curing.
// From the Episode
Horatio Delbert describes in Ep 030 how a Lemon OG (Lemon x G13) started with a dominant lemon terpene profile but after six months of curing, the G13 character became dominant. He explains this is because terpenes are volatile at room temperature and evaporate at different rates, which is why proper storage matters for both flower and extracted terpenes.
