High Myrcene Strains
High myrcene strains are cannabis cultivars in which myrcene—a monoterpene also found in hops, mango, and lemongrass—comprises a significant proportion of the volatile terpene profile, often 0.5% or higher by dry weight. Myrcene is the most abundant terpene in many modern cannabis varieties and is commonly associated with earthy, herbal, and sometimes fruity aromatics. Lineage records frequently report myrcene-dominant profiles in strains descended from Afghan, Indian, and Southeast Asian landraces, as well as in popular contemporary crosses. Breeders working in this category often select for myrcene as a marker of yield potential and plant vigor, though terpene expression remains environmentally variable. Understanding myrcene-forward genetics is relevant for strain documentation, breeding programs, and horticultural consistency.

Breeders use high myrcene profiles as a selection criterion for vigor and yield characteristics in stabilized lines. Myrcene prevalence in a strain's terpene panel often reflects underlying landrace ancestry and can guide crosses aimed at specific aromatic or growth phenotypes.
