1 % represents percent weight/weight. 2 MONO relates to the sum of monoterpenes and monoterpenoids. 3 SESQUI relates to the sum of sesquiterpenes and sesquiterpenoids. Inf = inflorescence, THC = tetrahydrocannabinol, THCA = tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, CBD = cannabidiol, CBDA = cannabidiol acid. Total cannabinoid content was calculated as if all of the cannabinoids were in their decarboxylated form. Blank cells indicate terpene levels which are under reporting limit. α-terpinene, p-cymene, γ-terpinene, iso-pulegol, eucalyptol, borneol and caryophyllene oxide were also assessed and were found to be under quantification limit.
