Cannabis Terpenes Explained: Limonene, Myrcene, Caryophyllene and Which Strains Carry Them
Choose seeds by aroma: a terpene map of the Strain Station catalogue.
01
Why terpenes matter when choosing seeds
Terpenes are the aromatic compounds behind a cultivar's smell and taste. Comparing documented terpene profiles is the quickest way to find a strain whose aroma you will enjoy. Every terpene listed below comes from the published strain data on our product pages.
02
Limonene — citrus
Limonene is associated with lemon and citrus aromas. It is the dominant terpene in Devil Driver and appears in Blue Lobster, Planet of Grapes, Candy Fumes, Frost Banger and the Sweet n Sour autoflower.
03
Myrcene — earthy and fruity
Myrcene brings earthy, musky and ripe-fruit tones. It leads the profile of Blueberry Caviar and is also listed for Blue Lobster, Planet of Grapes, Frost Banger and the Bond of Bliss, Watermelon Mint and Sky Cookie autoflowers.
04
Caryophyllene — pepper and spice
Caryophyllene gives a peppery, spicy edge. It is the most widespread terpene in our catalogue: it leads Frost Banger, Chicken Waffles, Pink Payton and most of our autoflowers, and supports nearly every other strain.
05
Pinene and linalool
Pinene adds pine and fresh forest notes — look at Devil Driver and the Mango 2.0 autoflower. Linalool is associated with floral, lavender-like aromas and appears in the Sweet n Sour autoflower.
