Organic Matter Notes
Organic Matter Notes refer to earthy, soil-derived aromatic compounds commonly detected in cannabis cultivars with specific terpene profiles. These scents—often described as petrichor, humus, or forest floor—typically arise from sesquiterpenes like caryophyllene and myrcene, alongside compounds produced during curing and storage. Lineage records frequently report Organic Matter Notes in cultivars descended from landrace strains adapted to rich soil environments. Breeders working to develop heritage-adjacent phenotypes often select for these characteristics to express particular regional and environmental terroir in their work.

Breeders pursuing authentic terroir expression or heritage genetics frequently prioritize Organic Matter Notes as a marker of stable terpene ratios and slow-cure compatibility. These aromatic markers help identify plants suited to extended preservation methods and stable cannabinoid-terpene profiles across generations.
