Reading a terpene chart without the folklore
Terpinolene is not a personality. It is a molecule. Here is how to read the archive charts as provenance, not a medical claim.
Terpene charts on this site are archive descriptors for the material recorded, not medical claims and not a guarantee that every seed will reproduce the same profile. Percentages are most useful as a relative map of the recorded aroma fraction rather than a score of quality or potency.
Myrcene is commonly associated with earthy or fruit notes; limonene with citrus; caryophyllene with pepper or spice; terpinolene with pine, herb or anise-like notes; and linalool with floral notes. On Scouse pages those labels are used to make one recorded line easier to compare with another.
Read the chart beside the lineage
A terpene profile makes more sense when it sits beside the parent cross, generation and breeder record. Aroma can vary with phenotype and environment, while the lineage entry is the stable reference point for the archive.
That is why the terpene page links back into the Genetics Library rather than presenting aroma bars as a substitute for provenance.
Seeds are sold as souvenirs and for genetic preservation. 18+. Cultivation of cannabis is illegal in the UK without a Home Office licence. These notes are not a grow guide.
