Tannins
Tannins are polyphenolic compounds found across cannabis plant tissues, including flowers, leaves, and stems. These astringent compounds are secondary metabolites commonly associated with plant defense mechanisms and structural integrity. Lineage records frequently report tannin expression varying significantly across strain families, particularly in older landrace and hash-plant derived genetics. Tannin presence contributes to flavor complexity and plant resilience during cultivation stress. Breeders working with cannabinoid-heavy or resin-focused lines often observe tannin co-expression as a byproduct of selective breeding for terpene richness and plant density.

Tannin profiles are tracked by breeding programs focused on extraction quality and plant hardiness, as tannin levels influence both final product texture and plant vigor under environmental pressure. Understanding tannin inheritance helps breeders predict structural stability and phenotype consistency across generations.
