Sesquiterpene Green Notes
Sesquiterpene Green Notes refers to cannabis aromatics dominated by C15 sesquiterpenes that express fresh, herbaceous, or vegetal character—often described as grass-like, woody-green, or leafy. Common sesquiterpenes in this category include caryophyllene, humulene, and β-myrcene derivatives that interact to create cooling or mineral-tinged profiles. This classification is frequently observed in landrace sativas and modern cultivars selected for aromatic complexity rather than sweet or fruity appeal. Terpene expression varies significantly with harvest timing, soil chemistry, and storage conditions, making this category sensitive to cultivation variables. Breeders working with green-note genetics often seek this trait for flavor diversity within seed libraries and for studying how sesquiterpenes interact with cannabinoid ratios.

Breeders use sesquiterpene green notes as a stability marker when developing cultivars with consistent aromatic profiles across generations. Selecting parent plants with dominant green-note chemistry helps establish distinctive chemotype signatures in hybrid lines.
