Terpenes Sesquiterpenes

Sesquiterpenes are a large class of volatile organic compounds found in cannabis and other plants, characterized by a molecular structure of three isoprene units (C₁₅H₂₄). Common sesquiterpenes in cannabis include β-caryophyllene, β-myrcene, and humulene, often tagged as contributing to earthy, spicy, woody, or herbal aroma profiles. Unlike monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes are heavier and typically less volatile, meaning they persist longer during storage and processing. Breeders working in modern cultivar development frequently track sesquiterpene ratios as part of their aromatic and chemical profiling protocols.

Breeder relevance

Sesquiterpene expression is influenced by genetics, environmental stress, harvest timing, and curing conditions. Cultivators and breeders monitor sesquiterpene diversity to develop stable, distinctive aromatic phenotypes within established lineages.
