Full Spectrum Testing
Full spectrum testing refers to comprehensive cannabinoid and terpene profiling that measures the complete chemical composition of a cannabis sample, rather than THC and CBD alone. These analytical protocols typically quantify major cannabinoids (CBG, CBC, THCV), minor cannabinoids, and volatile terpene profiles using chromatography-based methods. Full spectrum data has become standard in regulated markets and breeding documentation, allowing breeders to track chemical consistency across generations. This approach differs from single-molecule testing by revealing the entourage of compounds present in cultivars. Understanding full spectrum profiles helps breeders select for desired chemotype characteristics and stability.

Breeders use full spectrum testing data to identify and stabilize specific cannabinoid and terpene ratios across generations, documenting chemotype inheritance patterns. This information is critical for developing consistent F1 hybrids, stabilizing IBL lines, and maintaining accurate lineage records.
