C6 Alcohols
C6 alcohols are a class of volatile organic compounds commonly found in cannabis flower and leaf material. These six-carbon chain alcohols—including hex-3-en-1-ol and hex-2-en-1-ol—are often associated with fresh, green, grassy, or slightly fruity aromatic notes. They appear across diverse genetic backgrounds and are frequently detected in chromatographic analysis of cannabis cultivars. C6 alcohols typically represent a minor but noticeable fraction of the volatile terpene profile, particularly in strains bred for vegetative or herbal aromatics. Their presence is generally influenced by both genetics and cultivation conditions, with harvest timing and storage affecting their preservation in dried material.

Breeders working in aromatic lineage documentation track C6 alcohols as secondary volatile markers when pursuing fresh, green, or herbaceous phenotypes. Understanding their expression helps characterize the complete volatile profile beyond major terpenes like myrcene or limonene.
