About this profile

Lemon Butter 3 is strongly terpinolene-led: terpinolene makes up roughly 50% of its measured terpenes, with caryophyllene and limonene behind it. Terpinolene is generally linked to fresh, woody notes with citrus and floral touches, and caryophyllene to peppery spice. Terpinolene-led profiles are uncommon, about 8% of the library. Looking at the numbers, THC averaged 18.9%, toward the lower end of the library, and total terpenes averaged 1.41%, near the middle of the library. Only 1 lab sample so far from Nevada, so treat this as a single snapshot rather than a standard. Listed as a numbered variant of Lemon Butter; see Lemon Butter for the base profile.
