Fiber Cannabis
Fiber cannabis refers to plants selectively bred and cultivated primarily for cellulose production rather than cannabinoid content. These varieties, sometimes called hemp or industrial cannabis, typically feature tall, woody stalks with minimal flower development and low THC levels. Fiber strains have been documented across agricultural regions for centuries, with lineage records indicating selection for stem strength, height, and bast fiber quality. Modern fiber genetics often derive from European and Asian landraces adapted to temperate climates. The botanical traits—reduced branching, extended internodal spacing, and sturdy stalks—distinguish fiber-focused cultivars from flower-oriented cannabis families.

Breeders working in fiber genetics prioritize agronomic traits like lodging resistance, stem diameter uniformity, and fiber fineness over cannabinoid profiles. Crosses between fiber and dual-purpose cultivars are used to develop varieties suited to mechanical harvesting and decortication in industrial applications.
