Seed Set
Seed Set refers to the reproductive phenotype in cannabis plants where viable seeds develop in flowers following pollination. This trait is fundamental to breeding programs and seed production, as it indicates successful fertilization and genetic transmission. Breeders working with regular (non-feminized) genetics rely on seed set to create the next generation of cultivars. Understanding seed set timing, viability rates, and environmental factors that influence it is essential for both conservation breeding and commercial seed production. Seed set can vary significantly between cultivars, with some lines exhibiting dense seed development while others produce fewer seeds per flower cluster.

Seed set quality and quantity are primary selection criteria in breeding programs aimed at creating stable F1 hybrids and maintaining genetic lines. Breeders monitor seed maturation, shell integrity, and germination potential as markers of reproductive fitness and genetic viability.
