Seed Bank Genealogy
Seed bank genealogy refers to the documented lineage and breeding history of cannabis strains as maintained and propagated by organized seed banks and breeders. This classification tracks parentage records, original crosses, and generational breeding work—distinguishing between F1 hybrids, stabilized lines, and IBLs (inbred lines). Accurate genealogy records help breeders understand trait inheritance patterns, avoid genetic bottlenecks, and maintain strain authenticity across multiple generations. The reliability of seed bank genealogy varies widely depending on documentation practices; some established banks maintain detailed records while others lack verifiable provenance. This classification is primarily relevant to breeding programs and genetic preservation rather than consumer selection.

Breeders consult seed bank genealogy to identify compatible parent plants, understand how specific traits segregate across generations, and plan multi-generational breeding projects. Accurate lineage records enable more predictable phenotype outcomes and support efforts to stabilize desirable characteristics in new cultivars.
