Caryophyllene Caryophyllene
Caryophyllene is a sesquiterpene commonly found across cannabis varieties, though high-caryophyllene strains remain relatively uncommon in commercial genetics. This terpene is structurally unique among cannabis volatiles due to its bicyclic framework, which allows it to interact with cannabinoid receptors in ways distinct from other terpenes. Lineage records frequently report caryophyllene prominence in Haze hybrids, OG-line cultivars, and certain landrace derivatives. Breeders selecting for caryophyllene-dominant phenotypes typically work within established families known to express this trait consistently across generations. The aroma profile is commonly associated with dry, peppery, or woody notes.

Breeders targeting caryophyllene expression often backcross toward parents with documented high caryophyllene profiles, as the trait shows variable penetrance in F1 and F2 generations. Stabilizing caryophyllene-forward chemistry requires multi-generational selection and controlled environmental conditions during cultivation.
