// Definition
The practice of selectively breeding cannabis plants specifically for their terpene profiles rather than solely for cannabinoid content or yield. Involves identifying desirable or undesirable terpenes and breeding them into or out of genetic lines over successive generations.
// From the Episode
Skunkman Sam introduced a significant theory in Ep 051: that certain terpenes responsible for harsh throat feel could be bred out of strains while retaining the desirable aromatic and synergistic terpenes. He proposed that terpene synergy (the combined effect of multiple terpenes) is more important than any single terpene, connecting this to the entourage effect.
