Hay And Straw Notes
Hay and straw notes in cannabis describe dried grass-like aromas commonly detected in cured flower, particularly in strains with heritage genetics or extended drying periods. These characteristics are often associated with plant material that has undergone oxidation during storage or curing. In lineage records, hay-adjacent profiles frequently appear in older landrace strains and some modern cultivars bred from them. The presence of these notes is typically linked to specific terpene combinations and chlorophyll degradation rather than desirable volatile compounds. Breeders working with preservation-focused genetics or studying traditional cultivar traits sometimes document these profiles as baseline aroma markers.

Breeders generally select against prominent hay notes in fresh flower, as they indicate suboptimal curing or storage conditions rather than preserved terpene complexity. Conversely, researchers studying landrace genetics or degradation pathways may intentionally document strains expressing these profiles to understand volatile compound stability over time.
