Cannabinoid Profiles
Cannabinoid profiles describe the relative proportions and diversity of cannabinoids—including THC, CBD, CBG, CBN, and minor compounds—present in a cannabis plant at harvest. These profiles are shaped by genetics, growing conditions, and post-harvest handling. Unlike terpenes, which drive aroma and flavor, cannabinoids are pharmacologically active compounds that define a strain's chemical signature. Lineage records frequently report cannabinoid ratios as a key breeding objective, with cultivars often classified by THC-dominant, CBD-dominant, or balanced phenotypes. Understanding cannabinoid profiles is foundational to strain development, as they are heritable traits that can be stabilized across generations.

Breeders select parent plants and phenotypes based on target cannabinoid ratios to establish predictable offspring chemistry. Stabilizing a specific CB profile—whether high-THC, high-CBD, or novel minor cannabinoid expression—requires multi-generation backcrossing and phenotype documentation to ensure trait consistency in seed lines.
