Limonene Myrcene Dominance
Limonene-myrcene dominance describes cannabis lineages where these two terpenes co-occur at elevated levels, creating citrus-forward aromatic profiles often mixed with herbal or earthy undertones. Limonene contributes bright, lemon-like volatile compounds, while myrcene adds musky, clove-like depth. This terpene pairing is frequently observed in modern cultivars descended from Lemon Haze, Skunk, and OG Kush lineages. Breeders have systematically selected for this combination because both compounds are relatively abundant in cannabis and interact sensorily in predictable ways. Documentation of this profile helps cultivators and researchers understand aromatic inheritance patterns across hybrid generations.

Breeders working with limonene-myrcene dominance often use it as a phenotypic marker to identify offspring displaying desired aromatic traits. Stabilizing this terpene ratio across multiple generations requires selective cultivation and genetic line-tracking, making it a useful target in F2+ breeding programs.
