Caryophyllene Rich
Caryophyllene-rich cannabis expresses elevated levels of β-caryophyllene (BCP), a sesquiterpene also found in black pepper, cloves, and hops. This terpene is commonly associated with spicy, peppery, and woody aromatics in finished cannabis. Lineage records frequently report caryophyllene dominance in OG Kush descendants, Chemdog lines, and certain Sativa-leaning cultivars. Breeders working in this category often select for peppery phenotypes across multiple generations to stabilize the trait. Caryophyllene's presence alone does not determine effects or potency—it contributes to the plant's volatile aromatic profile and genetic expression.

Caryophyllene-rich phenotypes are valued in breeding programs aiming for distinctive peppery flavor notes and aromatic complexity. Selecting parent plants with consistent BCP expression helps stabilize these traits in F2+ generations and commercial cultivar development.
