Grass Notes
Grass notes in cannabis describe aromatic compounds reminiscent of fresh-cut grass, hay, or green plant material. This profile is commonly associated with chlorophyll-rich phenotypes and often emerges during early or improper drying and curing cycles. Grass aromas can also result from terpenes like hexanal and other C6 volatile compounds produced during plant metabolism. Lineage records frequently report grass notes in sativa-dominant strains and landrace varieties, particularly those with active vegetative growth profiles. Breeders working to minimize this profile typically emphasize extended curing and controlled desiccation protocols.

Selection against prominent grass notes has become standard practice in modern breeding, as this aroma is generally associated with incomplete curing rather than desired volatile profiles. Cultivators and breeders monitor post-harvest processing techniques to develop more refined terpene expression in finished material.
