So title question, is it the ratio of essential oils to thc that makes a bud more greasy, vs more sticky?
Is it the specific terpenes being produced?
Another factor all together that I’m not thinking of?

This is in botany so are you talking on the actual plant? Or extracts?

Many variables from the amount of terpenes, temps extract is produced at, cured at, or for that matter purged at depending on the extract post process. You can get greasy product from many things.

Yeah the plant itself. I hadn’t considered fats in the equation either.
Saw this being discussed on a recent Hash Church. I don’t think there is a solid scientific conclusion yet, but they were talking about the factors you mentioned. They also were considering the thickness of the cuticle on the head of the trichome.

Are you saying that the ratio of lipids/waxes/terpenes/cannabinoids is what affects the greasy or sticky. This has been a big question in my small circle of extractors. The general consensus is that greasy strains are better at BHO and sticky strains are better for rosin. Purely anecdotal evidence tho, I have no science to back that up yet.
