Cutting Viability
Cutting viability refers to a plant's capacity to produce viable cuttings for cloning—a critical trait in cannabis breeding and cultivation. Plants with strong cutting viability generate rooting-competent nodes that reliably develop into healthy clones across multiple generations. This trait encompasses factors like auxin responsiveness, stem structural integrity, and node vigor. Breeders working in this category assess cloning success rates, rooting speed, and clone-to-clone genetic stability. Cutting viability is particularly relevant for preserving elite phenotypes and maintaining consistent growing performance across large-scale operations.

Breeders prioritize cutting viability when selecting parent plants for seed production and cultivar stabilization. Strains with documented cutting viability allow commercial growers and seed companies to reliably propagate proven genetics without genetic drift.
