Minor Cannabinoid Cultivars
Minor Cannabinoid Cultivars are strains deliberately bred or selected to express elevated levels of cannabinoids other than THC and CBD—such as CBG, CBC, CBDV, or THCV. These cultivars have become increasingly relevant to cannabis genetics research as breeders and researchers explore the full cannabinoid spectrum beyond the dominant pair. Lineage records frequently report crosses designed to concentrate recessive cannabinoid traits or stabilize novel chemotypes. The genetics underlying minor cannabinoid expression remain partially understood; breeders working in this category often employ backcrossing, selective breeding, and phenotype screening to isolate and amplify desired compounds. Documentation of these cultivars' parentage and cannabinoid profiles supports the growing catalog of non-traditional cannabis genetics.

Breeders use minor cannabinoid cultivars as genetic sources to introduce or increase specific secondary cannabinoids into hybrid programs. Stabilizing these traits across generations requires careful phenotype selection and often multi-generational backcrossing to lock in desired cannabinoid ratios.
