Lebanese Red Family

The Lebanese Red Family encompasses landrace and stabilized lines originating from the Bekaa Valley and surrounding regions of Lebanon, historically recognized for deep red and burgundy pigmentation in flowers and foliage. These genetics are part of the broader Eastern Mediterranean cannabis populations and reflect adaptation to specific altitude, soil, and climate conditions in their native range. Breeders working in this category often report the trait expresses most prominently under cooler temperatures and specific nutrient profiles during late flowering. Lebanese Red lines are frequently used in crossing programs to introduce both pigmentation traits and the dense bract structure associated with traditional Middle Eastern cannabis cultivation. Historical seed preservation efforts have documented considerable phenotypic variation within these landraces, making them valuable for genet

Lebanese Red genetics serve as a source material for introducing heritable pigmentation and bract density traits into modern cultivars. Breeders select within these lines to establish stable color expression and stabilize other agronomic characteristics for consistent seed production.
