Wood Mineral Notes

Wood Mineral Notes describe a terpene and aromatic profile family characterized by earthy, woody, and mineral-forward sensory compounds. Strains in this family commonly feature combinations of myrcene, pinene, and carene alongside lesser-known sesquiterpenes that evoke cedarwood, petrichor, or dry stone aromas. Lineage records frequently report this profile emerging from landrace and Old World cannabis genetics, particularly those with extended cultivation in Mediterranean or mountainous regions. Breeders working in this category often select parent plants exhibiting these compounds to develop cultivars suited to extraction workflows or specialty market segments. The aromatic stability of wood-mineral profiles makes them valuable for studying terpene inheritance patterns across generations.

Breeders selectively cross plants expressing dominant wood and mineral terpenes to stabilize these traits in F1 and inbred lines. Understanding the genetic basis of these compounds helps inform phenotype prediction and aromatic consistency in commercial production.
