Caryophyllene Heavy
Caryophyllene Heavy strains are cannabis lines selected or bred for elevated concentrations of β-caryophyllene, a sesquiterpene also found in black pepper, cloves, and hops. Lineage records frequently report caryophyllene levels above 0.5–1.0% of total cannabinoid and terpene content in these cultivars. This classification is determined through gas chromatography analysis and selective breeding across generations. Breeders working in this category often cross parents known to express high caryophyllene phenotypes to stabilize the trait. The aroma profile is commonly associated with spicy, peppery, and woody notes, though other terpenes present will modulate the final bouquet.

Caryophyllene-heavy genetics appeal to breeders developing distinctive flavor profiles and studying sesquiterpene expression. Stabilizing this trait requires multi-generation selection and phenotypic screening, as terpene ratios shift with environmental conditions and harvest timing.
