Limonene Dominant Strains
Limonene-dominant strains are cannabis cultivars where limonene is the most abundant terpene in the plant's volatile oil profile. Limonene is a monoterpene commonly found in citrus peels, and its presence in cannabis is often associated with bright, lemony, or citrusy aromatic notes. Breeders working with limonene-dominant varieties often select for this trait through controlled crosses with genetics known to express high limonene concentrations. This classification encompasses strains across various cannabinoid backgrounds and is typically documented through gas chromatography analysis of terpene profiles. Lineage records frequently report limonene dominance in cultivars with citrus-forward genetics or those derived from certain heirloom landraces.

Breeders target limonene dominance for aroma stability and volatile profile consistency across generations. Selection for this terpene profile can influence cultivation parameters and help establish predictable sensory markers for commercial breeding programs.
