Green Plant Notes
Green plant notes refer to fresh, herbaceous aromas commonly associated with chlorophyll-rich cannabis material and volatile organic compounds like hexanal and hexenal. These scents are often described as grassy, leafy, or hay-like, particularly present in fresh flower or improperly cured cannabis. Green plant notes frequently appear across diverse lineages and can be influenced by harvest timing, drying conditions, and storage methods. In breeding contexts, some cultivars are selected for or against these characteristics depending on desired sensory profiles. Curing and proper post-harvest handling typically reduce green plant notes as chlorophyll degrades and more complex terpene profiles develop.

Breeders monitor green plant note intensity as part of sensory selection, often preferring cultivars that develop more complex aromatic profiles after curing. Lineages bred for specific terpene combinations—such as those emphasizing myrcene or limonene—may naturally express fewer green plant notes when properly processed.
