High Myrcene Limonene Ratio
High myrcene–limonene ratio describes cannabis chemotypes where myrcene monoterpene concentration notably exceeds limonene levels. Myrcene, the most abundant terpene in many cannabis varieties, is commonly associated with earthy, herbal, and musky aromatic profiles. When myrcene dominates over limonene (which typically contributes citrus notes), the resulting aroma tends toward damp soil, pine, and spice rather than bright citrus. Breeders tracking terpene ratios have documented this profile frequently in indica-leaning and landrace-derived lineages. This ratio reflects underlying chemotype inheritance and growing conditions that favor myrcene biosynthesis.

Breeders working in traditional indica and hash-plant genetics often select for high myrcene–limonene ratios to stabilize earthy, resinous aromatic signatures. Predictable terpene ratios aid in pheno-hunting and crossing programs targeting consistency in sensory profiles across generations.
