Cannabinoid Phenotype Ratios
Cannabinoid phenotype ratios describe the proportional expression of major cannabinoids (CBD, THC, CBN, CBC, and others) within individual plants or cultivars. These ratios are determined by both genetics and environmental factors, including soil chemistry, light cycles, temperature, and harvest timing. Breeders and researchers track phenotypic ratios to stabilize cultivars with consistent cannabinoid profiles across generations. Ratios range from THC-dominant (>10:1 THC:CBD) to CBD-dominant (<1:10 THC:CBD) to balanced or rare-cannabinoid expressions. Understanding these phenotypes is foundational to cannabis genetics work and plant selection for breeding programs.

Breeders select parent plants based on cannabinoid ratio stability to create true-breeding lines with predictable cannabinoid expressions. Tracking phenotypic ratios across F1, F2, and backcross generations helps identify which genes control cannabinoid synthesis and how they segregate in offspring.
