Are certain terpenes indicators of certain cannabinoids?

I haven’t been growing that long but I noticed that my CBD plants, and 1:1 THC:CBD plants had a bitter herbal smell to them. Same with this Iran landrace one I grew.
Landraces are also known for often containing CBD.

Could it be that certain terpenes indicate certain cannabinoids, or groups of cannabinoids?

Bitter herbs = CBD ?
Pine = THCV ?
Etc…?

Studying permaculture has taught me that everything in nature is based on patterns upon patterns…

Would be handy to have a chart for those of us who can’t get their buds tested.

It would be interesting to look at a big pool of test results and see if there are connections, patterns, recurrences. :nerd_face:

I don’t think it’s quite that simple. I grew Sebrings Revenge high CBD and it smelled and smoked incredibly sweet, like hard fruit candy sweet, but did not get you high at all.
