Genotype Documentation
Genotype documentation refers to the systematic recording of a cannabis plant's genetic makeup, typically through phenotype observation, molecular testing, or lineage tracking. Breeders maintain detailed genotype records to establish strain authenticity, predict trait expression across generations, and preserve genetic stability in seed lines. Documentation practices vary widely—some rely on morphological markers and cannabinoid profiles, while advanced programs employ DNA testing to verify parentage and genetic purity. Accurate genotype documentation is foundational to professional breeding programs, enabling reproducible results and informed selection decisions. This practice distinguishes established seed companies from casual cultivators and supports long-term genetic preservation efforts.

Breeders use genotype documentation to track dominant and recessive traits, identify heterozygosity levels in parent plants, and make informed crosses that reliably produce desired characteristics. Clear records enable breeders to stabilize cultivars, avoid genetic drift, and communicate strain genetics credibly to other professionals in the breeding community.
