Myrcene Forward Compounds
Myrcene-forward compounds refer to cannabis chemotypes where myrcene is the dominant terpene, often comprising 50% or more of the total terpene profile. Myrcene is a monoterpene found across numerous plant species and is commonly associated with herbal, earthy, and sometimes fruity aromatic characteristics in cannabis. Lineage records frequently report myrcene dominance in indica-spectrum and hybrid cultivars, though the trait appears across diverse genetic backgrounds. The presence of myrcene-forward profiles influences the overall volatile composition and sensory profile of flower and concentrates. Breeders tracking terpene data often identify myrcene-heavy chemotypes through third-party lab analysis during selection work.
