Low Myrcene Profiles
Low myrcene profiles refer to cannabis varieties where myrcene—a monoterpene commonly found across the genus—comprises a smaller percentage of the overall terpene profile. Myrcene is frequently abundant in many cannabis strains, often contributing herbal and earthy aromatic character. In low-myrcene varieties, breeders and researchers have observed that other terpenes (limonene, pinene, caryophyllene) become more prominent in the sensory profile. This classification is primarily of interest to breeding programs seeking to develop distinct aromatic signatures or explore under-represented terpene combinations. Low-myrcene lineages are less common in modern cultivar collections compared to myrcene-dominant varieties.

Breeders working with low-myrcene genetics pursue this trait to create aromatic diversity and explore how terpene ratios influence cultivar distinctiveness. Selecting for this profile requires multi-generational analysis of gas chromatography results to stabilize reduced myrcene expression while maintaining other cannabinoid and terpene targets.
