Pedigree
Pedigree in cannabis refers to the documented lineage and ancestry of a strain, tracing parent plants through successive generations. This concept became formalized as cannabis breeding professionalized in the late 20th century, with breeders maintaining careful records of crosses to establish stable traits. A strain's pedigree typically includes foundational landraces, key F1 hybrids, and stabilization work across multiple generations. Understanding pedigree helps breeders identify where specific traits originate and predict outcomes in new crosses. Reliable pedigree documentation is foundational to modern seed banking and strain preservation efforts.

Breeders consult pedigree data to avoid unintended inbreeding, select for desirable compound profiles, and understand how traits segregate in offspring. Transparent pedigree records enable reproducibility and help the breeding community build upon established work rather than repeating earlier crosses.
