Dark Loam
Dark Loam describes an earthy aroma profile characterized by rich, soil-like notes often compared to wet earth, humus, or decomposing organic matter. This scent family is commonly associated with cannabis cultivars carrying terpenes like myrcene and geosmin, though geosmin itself is not a cannabis-derived terpene. Lineage records frequently report Dark Loam notes in older landrace varieties and modern cultivars bred from earthy parent genetics. The aroma typically emerges during late-stage flower maturation and often intensifies during curing. Breeders working in heritage and terroir-focused programs often select for this profile to emphasize natural, non-floral character.

Breeders pursuing authentic, rustic aroma profiles selectively cross parent plants expressing dominant myrcene and beta-caryophyllene to stabilize Dark Loam characteristics across generations. Preservation of this trait is valued in programs emphasizing original phenotypes and seed-line stability.
