Green Plant Volatile
Green Plant Volatile (GPV) describes aromatic compounds commonly associated with fresh, herbaceous, or grassy notes in cannabis. These volatile organic compounds—including hexanal, hexenal, and other C6 aldehydes and alcohols—are released by plant tissue damage or enzymatic activity during cultivation, harvest, and processing. GPV aromatics are frequently detected across diverse genotypes and are often more pronounced in fresh or recently dried material. The intensity and specific character of green plant volatiles can shift significantly depending on post-harvest handling, curing conditions, and storage. Breeders and cultivators working with this profile often track it as a processing indicator rather than a stable genetic marker.

Breeders monitor GPV expression to evaluate post-harvest management and curing efficiency; strong green notes may indicate rapid drying or incomplete curing. Understanding how specific lineages express these volatiles helps cultivators optimize drying protocols and predict aromatic stability during storage.
