Myrcene Dominance
Myrcene dominance describes cannabis cultivars where myrcene comprises the largest portion of the terpene profile, often exceeding 50% of total terpenes. This monoterpene is commonly associated with earthy, herbal, and clove-like aromatic notes. Myrcene-dominant strains frequently appear across both indica and sativa lineages, though breeding records suggest higher prevalence in indica-leaning genetics. The terpene's abundance in a given cultivar depends on multiple factors including genetics, growing conditions, harvest timing, and post-harvest handling. Understanding myrcene dominance helps breeders predict aromatic profiles and categorize strain families within their collections.

Breeders working with myrcene-dominant parents use this trait as a predictable marker for cross-breeding programs seeking consistent herbal or earthy characteristics. Myrcene levels can serve as a phenotypic selector when stabilizing new cultivar lines across generations.
