Hybrid Ratios
Hybrid ratios describe the proportional genetic contribution of Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica ancestry in modern cultivars. Common classifications include sativa-dominant (typically 70-30 or 60-40 sativa-to-indica), indica-dominant (inverse proportions), and balanced hybrids (approximately 50-50). Breeders use these ratios as shorthand for predicted plant structure, flowering time, and growth patterns, though actual expression varies based on phenotypic selection and environmental factors. Ratio notation helps cultivators and breeders communicate genetic background without claiming specific cannabinoid or terpene profiles. Understanding hybrid ratios is foundational to breeding programs seeking particular morphology or cultivation characteristics.

Breeders select for specific hybrid ratios to achieve target plant heights, branching patterns, and photoperiod sensitivity. Ratio tracking across generations helps maintain consistency in commercial lines and informs decisions about F1, F2, and backcross breeding strategies.
