Cannabinoid Terpene Ratio
Cannabinoid-terpene ratio describes the proportional balance between cannabinoids (THC, CBD, CBN, etc.) and volatile aromatic compounds (terpenes) in a cultivar's chemistry profile. This relationship influences both the sensory experience and the overall phytochemical expression of a strain. Breeders and cultivators track these ratios because they correlate with flowering phenotype, extraction efficiency, and stability across growing environments. Unlike isolated cannabinoid or terpene profiles alone, ratio analysis provides insight into how secondary metabolites interact and express during development. Understanding these balances is foundational to selective breeding programs aiming for consistency in chemical expression.

Breeders monitor cannabinoid-terpene ratios to stabilize phenotypes across generations and predict how a cultivar will express under different environmental stress conditions. Ratio stability is often used as a marker of genetic fixation and reliability in F2+ generations and commercial seed lines.
