Hemp Fiber Traits
Hemp fiber traits refer to plant characteristics selected for fiber production rather than cannabinoid content, including tall stature, long internodes, reduced branching, and sturdy stalks. Historically, fiber-focused breeding emphasized structural integrity and yield per plant. Modern cannabis breeding increasingly incorporates fiber-trait genetics when developing dual-purpose or industrial cultivars. These morphological markers often correlate with lower resin production and are common in European and Asian landrace populations with centuries of agricultural selection. Aromatically, fiber-dominant plants typically express subtle or muted terpene profiles compared to resin-heavy varieties, though this isn't absolute.

Breeders working with fiber traits use plant structure and stem quality as selection markers when creating cultivars for textile or construction applications. Crosses between fiber-type and cannabinoid-rich genetics require careful phenotype screening to maintain desired secondary metabolite expression while preserving structural vigor.
