Mineral Soil Phenotypes
Mineral soil phenotypes describe cannabis expressions characterized by earthy, petrichor-like aromas reminiscent of wet stone, metal, and bedrock. These profiles are commonly associated with specific terpene combinations, particularly myrcene alongside trace amounts of compounds like nerolidol and caryophyllene. Breeders working with heritage and Old World lineages frequently report mineral-forward phenotypes, though they can emerge across diverse genetic backgrounds. The aroma's intensity and character appear influenced by both genotype and cultivation conditions, including substrate composition and nutrient profiles. Understanding mineral phenotypes helps geneticists identify and stabilize distinct sensory markers within breeding programs.

Breeders select for mineral phenotypes to develop distinct flavor and aroma profiles for commercial and craft markets. Stabilizing these traits requires multi-generational selection, as mineral expression can vary significantly across environmental conditions and individual plant development.
