Fresh Plant Notes
Fresh plant notes refer to aromatic compounds commonly found in cannabis that resemble living green vegetation—cut grass, leafy greens, or herbal garden scents. These aromas typically derive from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) including hexanal, hexenal, and various aldehydes produced during active plant growth and photosynthesis. Fresh plant notes are often more pronounced in recently harvested or poorly cured material, as these volatile compounds diminish over time and with proper drying. Many modern cultivars, particularly those emphasizing terpene preservation, maintain detectable fresh plant aromatics alongside more stable secondary terpenes like myrcene or pinene.

Many modern cultivars, particularly those emphasizing terpene preservation, maintain detectable fresh plant aromatics alongside more stable secondary terpenes like myrcene or pinene.
Breeders working with fresh plant aromatics typically select for strains with higher volatile aldehyde and hexene profiles when targeting living plant character. Preservation of these notes during breeding requires attention to harvest timing and initial post-harvest handling, as they serve as markers for plant vitality and terpene freshness in seed selection programs.
