Alpha Humulene
Alpha-humulene is a sesquiterpene commonly found in cannabis cultivars, particularly those with heritage lines tracing to Haze and OG Kush families. Lineage records frequently report this compound alongside myrcene and caryophyllene in many established strains. The aroma is often tagged as woody, spicy, and subtly herbal, contributing to complex terpene profiles in breeding work. Alpha-humulene occurs naturally in hops, which share botanical relatives with cannabis. Breeders working with this terpene often select parent plants showing consistent expression across generations, though environmental factors significantly influence final terpene ratios.
