Myrcene Limonene Profile

The Myrcene-Limonene terpene profile represents a chemotype combination commonly documented in modern cannabis cultivars, characterized by elevated levels of both myrcene (an acyclic monoterpene) and limonene (a cyclic monoterpene). Lineage records frequently report this profile in descendants of classic Thai, Haze, and citrus-forward hybrid lines. Breeders working with these parents often observe a wide range of expression levels, with myrcene typically dominating the volatile profile in many phenotypes. The combination of these two monoterpenes is studied by researchers examining how terpene ratios may influence cannabinoid stability and plant metabolism during growth cycles.

Cultivators and breeders often select for this profile when working toward specific aroma signatures or when building hybrid lines that require balanced monoterpene expression. Maintaining stable myrcene-limonene ratios across generations requires selective breeding and controlled phenotype documentation.
