Soil Minerality
Soil minerality refers to sensory notes commonly associated with minerals, earth, and rock-like aromatics in cannabis. These characteristics are often attributed to trace element uptake during cultivation—particularly from growing media rich in calcium, magnesium, silica, or other minerals—though genetic expression also plays a role. Breeders and cultivators frequently report minerality as a secondary or tertiary aromatic descriptor alongside primary terpene profiles. The term remains somewhat subjective in cannabis classification, as "mineral" notes can overlap with petrichor, phenolic, or earthy terpene expressions. Documentation of minerality across lineages is still developing within breeding records.

Cultivators working toward mineral-forward phenotypes often manipulate growing media composition and nutrient regimens to enhance these notes. Breeders selecting for terroir-influenced aromatics may prioritize parent plants showing consistent mineral character across environments.
