Myrcene Caryophyllene Ratios
Myrcene and caryophyllene ratios describe the relative balance between these two major sesquiterpenes in cannabis flower. High myrcene dominance often correlates with earthier, herbal, or musky profiles, while elevated caryophyllene tends toward spicy, peppery, or clove-like notes. This ratio varies significantly across cultivars and is influenced by genetics, growing conditions, and harvest timing. Breeders tracking terpene expression use these ratios as measurable markers when selecting parent plants for consistent aroma phenotypes. Understanding these ratios helps genealogists map aroma stability across seed lines and inbred crosses.

Breeders working in aroma stabilization often target specific myrcene-to-caryophyllene ranges to create predictable sensory profiles across generations. Backcrossing programs may isolate and reinforce desired ratios, enabling reproducible flavor signatures in commercial and artisanal seed releases.
