Myrcene Rich

Myrcene-rich cannabis profiles are characterized by elevated concentrations of myrcene, a monoterpene commonly associated with herbal, earthy, and sometimes fruity aromatic notes. Myrcene is one of the most abundant terpenes found across cannabis cultivars and is also present in hops, mangoes, and lemongrass. Lineage records frequently report myrcene-dominant phenotypes emerging from indica-spectrum genetics and certain landrace populations. Breeders working in this category often select for myrcene expression when targeting cultivars with specific aromatic profiles or when crossing to stabilize particular terpene ratios.

Myrcene-rich selections serve as parent material in breeding programs aiming to enhance earthy or herbal aroma characteristics in offspring. Terpene profiling has become a standard tool for breeders to identify and stabilize myrcene-forward phenotypes across generations.
