Cedrene Terpene

Cedrene is a sesquiterpene found in cannabis and numerous plant sources, including cedar wood and juniper. While present in cannabis in relatively minor concentrations, cedrene is part of the broader sesquiterpene profile that breeders track when developing cultivars with specific aromatic characteristics. Lineage records frequently report cedrene alongside other wood-noted compounds in certain landrace and heritage genetics. The compound is commonly associated with warm, woody aromatics in strain descriptions, though its exact contribution to overall plant phenotype remains an area of ongoing research. Breeders working with strains displaying pronounced cedar or incense-like notes often find cedrene present in terpene chromatography profiles.

Cedrene appears as part of broader terpene suites in heritage breeding programs, particularly those emphasizing woody or resinous aromatic profiles. Its presence is tracked alongside dominant terpenes to maintain consistency in cultivar character across generations.
