Organic Matter Composition
Organic matter composition refers to the complete profile of carbon-based compounds present in cannabis plant tissue, including cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, lipids, proteins, and polysaccharides. Breeders and cultivators analyze organic matter ratios to understand plant chemistry beyond cannabinoid content alone. This classification encompasses both volatile compounds (terpenes) and non-volatile constituents that develop during growth and post-harvest processing. Genetic lineage, environmental conditions, and harvest timing all influence the final organic matter profile of a given strain. Understanding these compositions helps contextualize how different cultivars express their full biochemical potential.

Breeders working with organic matter composition track inherited traits controlling secondary metabolite production and tissue density. Selecting for desired ratios of terpenes, flavonoids, and structural compounds allows development of cultivars with consistent biochemical signatures across generations.
