Pinene Limonene Dominance
Pinene-limonene dominance describes cannabis chemotypes where α-pinene and limonene are the primary volatile terpenes, often creating bright citrus and fresh pine aromatics. This terpene pairing is found across multiple strain families and geographic breeding traditions. Pinene typically contributes sharp, resinous forest notes, while limonene adds sweet, zesty citrus character. Lineage records frequently report this profile in cultivars bred from Citral Haze, Lemon Skunk, and various pine-forward landrace crosses. The combination is stable enough to appear across successive generations when parent selection emphasizes these terpene markers.
