Cannabinoid Ratio Phenotypes
Cannabinoid ratio phenotypes refer to the observable expression of different proportions between major cannabinoids—primarily THC and CBD—within a single genetic line or across cultivars. These ratios are influenced by both genetics and cultivation conditions, with specific enzymes and alleles controlling cannabinoid synthase pathways. Common ratio categories include THC-dominant, CBD-dominant, balanced (1:1), and trace-cannabinoid types. Breeders and researchers track these phenotypes to document genetic potential and predict offspring cannabinoid profiles. Ratio phenotypes form the foundation of modern breeding programs seeking specific cannabinoid combinations for diverse agricultural and research applications.

Breeders working with cannabinoid genetics use ratio phenotypes as a primary selection criterion, allowing consistent reproduction of target profiles across generations. Understanding which alleles control cannabinoid synthase expression enables more predictable crosses and stabilization of desired ratios in F2 and F3 lines.
