Genotype Tracking
Genotype tracking refers to the systematic documentation and identification of a cannabis plant's genetic makeup across breeding lines and generations. Breeders maintain detailed records of parent plant genetics, phenotypic expressions, and inheritance patterns to guide selective breeding decisions. This practice is foundational to cannabis horticulture, allowing breeders to predict trait stability, identify heterozygosity, and establish consistent cultivar families. Genotype tracking encompasses DNA marker analysis, pedigree documentation, and phenotypic observation protocols. Understanding a strain's genetic background helps distinguish between true-breeding cultivars and F1 hybrids, informing seed production and stability expectations.

Professional breeders rely on genotype tracking to maintain cultivar integrity, plan crosses with predictable outcomes, and identify rare recessive traits worth stabilizing. Accurate tracking enables identification of desirable alleles and helps prevent genetic bottlenecking in long-term breeding programs.
