Ocimene Terpene
Ocimene is a C₁₀H₁₆ monoterpene commonly detected in cannabis cultivars, alongside myrcene, pinene, and limonene. It exists in multiple isomeric forms (alpha-, beta-, and trans-ocimene), each with distinct aromatic profiles often described as herbal, woody, or subtly floral. Ocimene appears across diverse cannabis lineages and is frequently reported in strains with Haze, Skunk, and Thai ancestry. Breeders tracking terpene expression note ocimene's variable concentration depending on genotype, environmental stress, and harvest timing. Its presence is documented through gas chromatography and other analytical methods in breeding programs focused on terpene profiling.

Breeders working in terpene-targeted selection often monitor ocimene levels as part of aromatic profile development. Ocimene's volatile nature means harvest timing and drying conditions significantly influence final expression, making it relevant for cultivators studying environmental impact on terpene outcomes.
