Low Limonene Types
Low limonene types represent cannabis cultivars where limonene—a monoterpene commonly associated with citrus aromatics—comprises a relatively minor fraction of the terpene profile. While limonene appears in most cannabis genetics, strains bred to emphasize other terpenes (such as myrcene, pinene, or caryophyllene) may naturally express lower limonene percentages. Breeders working in this category often prioritize alternate aromatic profiles or cannabinoid ratios, resulting in plants with earthier, herbal, or spiced character rather than pronounced citrus notes. Low limonene types remain understudied in formal literature but appear frequently in heritage and landrace-derived breeding programs.

Breeders pursuing specific terpene targets—particularly those emphasizing myrcene-dominant or pinene-forward profiles—often select parents known to express minimal limonene. Understanding limonene distribution across a breeding population helps predictably shape aromatic outcomes in F1 and stabilized lines.
