Cannabidiol Low
Cannabidiol Low (CBD-Low) refers to cannabis varieties bred to express minimal cannabidiol content, typically under 1% by dry weight. These genetics are the inverse of CBD-dominant strains and represent the historical baseline of most recreational and many commercial breeding programs. CBD-Low lineages dominate the global cannabis market and include most well-established strain families. Breeders working in this category prioritize other cannabinoids, terpene profiles, or plant structure rather than cannabidiol expression. Understanding CBD-Low genetics is foundational to cannabis breeding, as most modern cultivars fall into this classification regardless of their THC or minor cannabinoid focus.

CBD-Low genetics serve as the parent stock for most contemporary breeding programs aiming to enhance THC potency, terpene diversity, or yield characteristics. Breeders use CBD-Low lines as baseline crosses when developing new cannabinoid ratios or when combining desirable traits from multiple parent plants.
