High Myrcene Cultivars
High myrcene cultivars are cannabis strains where myrcene, a sesquiterpene, comprises a significant portion of the terpene profile—typically 0.5% or higher by dry weight. Myrcene is commonly associated with herbal, earthy, and musky aromatic notes, sometimes with subtle fruity undertones. This terpene occurs naturally in plants like hops, lemongrass, and bay leaves. In cannabis breeding, myrcene-dominant strains have been repeatedly selected across decades of cultivation, making it one of the most prevalent terpenes in modern cannabis genetics. Lineage records frequently report myrcene as a defining aromatic marker in strains descended from classic landrace and stable hybrid lines.

Breeders working in high-myrcene categories often target parent material from established cultivars known to express robust myrcene production, as this trait shows moderate heritability across generations. Myrcene-forward cultivars serve as foundational genetics for crossing programs seeking to establish or enhance specific aromatic families.
