Cannabinoid Phenotype
Cannabinoid phenotype refers to the observable expression of cannabinoid ratios and profiles in cannabis plants—the ratio of THC to CBD, presence of minor cannabinoids like CBG or THCV, and their relative abundance. This expression is shaped by genetics, epigenetics, and growing conditions, and it varies meaningfully between individual plants even within the same strain line. Breeders track cannabinoid phenotypes through selective breeding to stabilize desired ratios, such as balanced 1:1 THC:CBD lines or high-CBD cultivars. Cannabinoid phenotype is distinct from terpene profile, though both influence the plant's chemical fingerprint. Understanding cannabinoid phenotype is fundamental to lineage work and strain development.

Breeders isolate and stabilize cannabinoid phenotypes through repeated selection and testing, often using early-stage cannabinoid testing to identify exceptional plants. Stabilizing a consistent cannabinoid phenotype across generations requires careful parent selection and controlled breeding environments.
