Terpene Composition
Terpene composition refers to the specific ratio and blend of individual terpenes present in a cannabis plant's volatile oil profile. Each strain develops a unique terpene fingerprint shaped by genetics, environment, and harvest timing. Understanding composition—which terpenes dominate and in what proportions—helps breeders predict aromatic profiles and track lineage consistency. Terpene composition is measured through gas chromatography and similar analytical methods, providing objective data beyond subjective smell assessment. Breeders working in this category often focus on stabilizing desirable terpene ratios across generations to maintain strain identity.

Breeders use terpene composition analysis to identify parent plants with complementary profiles, select offspring with target aromatic traits, and verify strain authenticity across seed batches. Tracking composition data across generations helps establish and maintain a strain's genetic fingerprint for consistency and market recognition.
