Myrcene Ratio
Myrcene ratio refers to the relative concentration of myrcene compared to other terpenes in a cannabis flower or extract. Myrcene is the most abundant terpene in many cannabis varieties and exists on a spectrum—some cultivars express myrcene-dominant profiles (>0.5% by weight or >50% of total terpene content), while others contain trace amounts. Lineage records frequently report myrcene ratios as a heritable trait influenced by both genetics and cultivation conditions. Understanding myrcene ratios helps breeders classify plant chemotypes and predict terpene-forward phenotypes. This metric is commonly used alongside other terpene quantification methods in modern cannabis breeding documentation.

Breeders working in terpene selection programs track myrcene ratios as a stable, measurable trait to develop cultivars with consistent aromatic profiles. High myrcene ratios are often associated with certain landrace and indica-influenced lineages, making this metric useful for heritage breed preservation and chemotype stabilization across generations.
