Phenotype Screening
Phenotype screening refers to the systematic evaluation of observable characteristics in cannabis plants across a population—including morphology, terpene profile, growth rate, and resin production. Breeders use phenotype screening to identify individuals that express desired traits before selecting them for further breeding work. This practice is foundational to cannabis genetics development, allowing cultivators and breeders to document variation within seed lots or clone lines. Screening typically occurs across multiple growth cycles to ensure trait stability and repeatability. The process generates the baseline data that informs strain classification and helps stabilize new cultivars.

Phenotype screening is essential for parentage selection, hybrid vigor assessment, and stabilization of new varieties. Breeders rely on repeated phenotypic evaluation across generations to fix desirable traits and eliminate undesirable drift.
