Cedrene Dominant

Cedrene-dominant strains feature sesquiterpenes with woody, cedar-forward aromatic profiles. While cedrene itself appears in lower concentrations across most cannabis cultivars, some breeding lines have been selected to express elevated levels of this and related woody sesquiterpenes. These strains are often tagged as having "forest" or "timber" notes in terpene profiles. Cedrene is commonly associated with myrcene and other sesquiterpenes in the plant's volatile profile. Breeders working in this category typically source parent plants showing natural woody or piney terpene expression and select for stability across generations.

Breeders pursuing cedrene-forward expression often cross woody-terpene parent plants and phenotype-hunt for consistent cedar or wood-smoke aromatics. Stability of sesquiterpene ratios remains a focus in cultivation and preservation protocols, as these heavier compounds can shift under environmental stress.
