Coastal Genetics
Coastal Genetics is not a terpene, but rather a regional breeding designation applied to cannabis cultivars developed in maritime climates, particularly along western North American coastlines. Breeders working in coastal zones often select for traits suited to cool, humid, salt-spray-exposed environments—including compact structure, mold resistance, and early maturation. Lineage records frequently report that coastal-adapted cultivars emphasize terpene profiles common to those environments, such as pinene, myrcene, and limonene. This classification reflects environmental adaptation rather than a specific chemical compound, and serves primarily as a cultivation and breeding category for growers in oceanic regions.

Breeders use coastal genetics as a foundation for developing cultivars with enhanced disease resistance to powdery mildew and bud rot—common challenges in humid maritime climates. Coastal-derived genetics are often crossed into other lineages to introduce vigor and environmental resilience without sacrificing yield potential.
