Cannabinoid Production Patterns
Cannabinoid production patterns describe the genetic expression profiles that determine which cannabinoids a plant synthesizes and in what ratios. These patterns are shaped by enzyme activity, genetic regulation, and environmental conditions during flowering. Common patterns include THC-dominant, CBD-dominant, balanced THC/CBD, and rare chemotypes that prioritize CBG, CBC, or other minor cannabinoids. Breeders classify strains by these patterns to predict chemical outcomes and guide selective breeding. Understanding production patterns is foundational to cannabis genetics work, as they define the biochemical signature of a lineage independent of external factors.

Breeders use cannabinoid production pattern classification to select parent plants, predict F1 chemistry, and stabilize desired chemotypes across generations. This classification system allows genetic mapping of cannabinoid synthesis pathways and helps identify recessive or co-dominant alleles that control cannabinoid ratios.
