Leaflet Serration
Leaflet serration refers to the degree and pattern of jagged or smooth edges on cannabis leaves. The trait exists along a spectrum from deeply serrated (heavily toothed) to smooth-edged, with most cultivars falling somewhere in between. Serration patterns are influenced by genetics, growing conditions, and plant maturity—seedlings and vegetative growth often show more pronounced serration than later flowering stages. Breeders and cultivators document serration as a phenotypic marker for strain identification and parentage verification. The trait has no known correlation with cannabinoid or terpene production, though some lineages may cluster serration patterns within family groups due to shared ancestry.

Serration patterns serve as reliable visual markers for strain authentication and phenotype selection during breeding programs. Breeders tracking specific genetic lines often monitor leaflet edge morphology alongside other traits to confirm genetic stability across generations.
