Cedarwood Myrcene

Cedarwood Myrcene describes cannabis cultivars where myrcene terpenes combine with woody, resinous cedar-like aromatic notes. This classification emerges from specific terpene profiles rather than cannabinoid ratios, with myrcene typically as a dominant or co-dominant terpene alongside compounds like α-pinene or β-caryophyllene. Lineage records frequently report this aromatic profile in Indica-leaning and hybrid strains, particularly those derived from landrace or heritage genetics. The woody character is commonly associated with terpenes like α-cedrene (when present) or the overall volatile profile of aged resin. Breeders documenting this classification note it as a stable secondary or tertiary aroma marker across multiple generations.

Cultivators and breeders track Cedarwood Myrcene profiles to maintain consistent aromatic signatures in line development and to identify parent plants with complementary terpene expression. This classification helps standardize aromatic descriptions in seed catalogs and breeding records, supporting phenotype stability across crosses.
