Potency Testing
Potency testing refers to laboratory analysis that quantifies cannabinoid content—primarily THC and CBD—in cannabis plant material or finished products. Modern potency testing employs chromatography-based methods (HPLC, GC-MS) to measure cannabinoid concentrations by weight percentage or milligrams per serving. Testing protocols vary by jurisdiction and testing facility standards, affecting consistency and reproducibility of results. Accurate potency data has become essential for breeding programs tracking genetic cannabinoid expression and for regulatory compliance in licensed markets. Breeders and seed companies increasingly use third-party potency testing to document strain characteristics across growing conditions and generations.

Potency testing enables breeders to identify and select parent plants with stable, predictable cannabinoid profiles. Repeated testing across generations and phenotypes helps establish breeding lines and informs decisions about hybridization strategies for target cannabinoid ratios.
