Micron Grading
Micron grading refers to the classification of cannabis plant material by particle size, measured in microns (micrometers). This system is commonly used in breeding programs and seed production to standardize and separate pollen, trichome heads, plant debris, and other botanical matter. Micron screens typically range from 25 to 220 microns, allowing breeders to isolate specific fractions for genetic work or quality assessment. The practice originated in agricultural and pharmaceutical industries and has become standard in professional breeding operations seeking consistency and purity in genetic material.

The practice originated in agricultural and pharmaceutical industries and has become standard in professional breeding operations seeking consistency and purity in genetic material.
Breeders use micron grading to isolate viable pollen for controlled crosses, separate mature trichomes for cannabinoid profiling, and remove contaminants that might compromise seed viability or genetic integrity. This precision tool enables reproducible phenotype selection and helps maintain accurate lineage records across generations.
