Understanding Terpene Profiles in Modern Cannabis Cultivation


The Science Behind Cannabis Aromatics

At Firebrand Cannabis, our commitment to excellence extends beyond just growing premium cannabis – it encompasses a deep understanding of the molecular composition that makes each strain unique. Today, we’re diving into the fascinating world of terpenes.

What Are Terpenes?

Terpenes are aromatic compounds responsible for the distinct flavors and scents in cannabis. Our cultivation team, representing the diverse backgrounds that make up Boston’s vibrant communities from South Station to the Financial District, meticulously monitors these profiles.

Key terpenes we focus on include:

  • Myrcene – Earthy, musky notes
  • Limonene – Citrus undertones
  • Pinene – Fresh pine essence
  • Linalool – Floral aromatics
