Grassy Aroma
Grassy aroma describes cannabis with volatile profiles dominated by compounds that produce fresh-cut grass, hay, or green plant notes. This phenotype is commonly associated with high levels of hexanal, hexenal, and other C6 volatile aldehydes and alcohols that emerge during drying and curing. Lineage records frequently report grassy profiles in older landraces and some modern cultivars, particularly those with specific cannabinoid and terpene ratios. The trait can result from genetics, harvest timing, drying conditions, and storage methods, making it a complex expression rather than a single genetic marker. Breeders studying this family typically examine volatile production timing and environmental response during post-harvest processing.

Breeders working with grassy phenotypes often investigate how drying speed, temperature, and humidity influence volatile expression. This family is valuable for understanding post-harvest chemistry and for developing cultivars with specific sensory profiles.
