Get over the fact that the description from the breeder isn't accurate or is exaggerated. Just expect it, lol.
Terps while it is growing isn't always what you get after drying/curing, either. So, don't be surprised if it evovles into something else.
Strong smell could be correlated to 'more terps,' but also could be related to high temps/low rh causing faster rate of evaporation. What you smell are molecules from the plant. If you are smelling it, it's no long on the plant, therefore lost from the plant's perspective and your smoking perspective. If it smells strong when breaking it up, that matters more.
plus what it smells like isn't necessarily what it'll taste like. some smell translates better than others. Unfortunately for me, one of the strongest/consistent translating flavor is 'lemon,' blech.
