Terpene Sparse Strains
Terpene-sparse strains are cannabis lines bred or selected to express lower overall volatile aromatic compound profiles. These cultivars may produce reduced terpene yields relative to their cannabinoid content, resulting in milder or less pronounced aromas during growth and processing. Documentation of terpene-sparse phenotypes remains limited in peer literature, though breeders have noted such expressions across various genetic backgrounds. The trait is sometimes attributed to genetic regulation of terpene synthase expression or environmental stress responses. These strains are often studied in breeding programs exploring cannabinoid isolation or strains intended for odor-sensitive cultivation environments.

Breeders working in stealth cultivation or seeking to emphasize cannabinoid ratios over aromatic complexity may selectively work with terpene-sparse genetics. This trait can present value in indoor commercial operations where odor management is a cultivation consideration.
