Breeding Selection Traits
Breeding selection traits in cannabis refer to measurable or observable characteristics that cultivators intentionally propagate across generations. These include plant structure (height, branching pattern, internode spacing), flowering time, resin production density, terpene profiles, and seed set reliability. Unlike marketing descriptors, breeding traits are documented through repeated observation and genetic tracking across multiple grow cycles. Breeders maintain detailed phenotype records to isolate and stabilize desirable expressions. Understanding these traits is foundational to any serious breeding program, as they form the basis for line stabilization and hybrid development.

Breeders use measurable selection traits to make informed decisions about which plants to cross, backcross, or cull. Consistent documentation of these traits across generations allows breeders to predict offspring characteristics and move toward stable F1 hybrids or IBL (inbred lines).
