Sour Phenotype Selection
Sour phenotype selection refers to breeding work targeting cannabis plants that express acidic or tangy aromatic compounds, commonly associated with terpenes like limonene, citral, and various organic acids. Breeders working in this category often isolate and stabilize plants displaying these sensory markers across generations. Selection typically involves organoleptic testing and chemical profiling to identify consistent sour-expressing individuals. This trait appears frequently in lineages tracing to parent varieties known for citrus or fermented notes. The sour phenotype remains a functional breeding goal for developing stable cultivars with repeatable aromatic profiles.

Breeders use sour phenotype selection to create stable cultivars with predictable terpene expression for seed stock development. Selection pressure across multiple generations helps lock in acidic aromatic characteristics for commercial and preservation-focused breeding programs.
