Combustion Characteristics
Combustion characteristics describe how cannabis material burns when heated—including burn rate, ash color, and residue type. These traits result from mineral content, cell structure, density, and curing practices rather than cannabinoid or terpene profiles. Breeders and cultivators track combustion behavior because it reflects underlying plant chemistry and cultivation quality. Ash color ranges from white (cleaner burn, lower mineral content) to dark gray or black (higher ash mineral load). Understanding combustion characteristics helps inform processing decisions and breeding selections for specific end-product categories.

Breeders working in flower production and joint-focused markets monitor combustion traits as indirect markers of mineral uptake and cell maturity. Combustion consistency can influence cultivar selection for specific processing applications, though these traits are primarily driven by growing conditions and harvest timing rather than genetic determinism.
