Terpene Ratio
Terpene ratio refers to the proportional balance between dominant and minor volatile compounds in a cannabis sample's chemical profile. Rather than focusing on single terpenes in isolation, ratio analysis examines how limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, and other compounds interact quantitatively. Breeders and researchers use ratio data to understand strain consistency and chemotype stability across generations. Terpene ratios remain largely cultivar-dependent, influenced by genetics, growing conditions, harvest timing, and post-harvest handling. This metric helps distinguish between chemotypes within the same strain family and informs selective breeding decisions.

Breeders working toward consistent aromatic expression often track terpene ratios as a phenotypic marker. Maintaining specific ratios across seed generations supports predictability in commercial cultivation and helps identify stable chemotypes for stabilized line development.
