Type 3 Cbda Dominant
Type 3 CBDA dominant plants produce cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) as their primary cannabinoid precursor, with minimal THCA accumulation. These phenotypes occur when genetic factors suppress THC synthesis pathways while favoring CBD pathway expression. CBDA is the raw, non-decarboxylated form of CBD—it converts to CBD through heat or time. Type 3 classifications are less common than Type 1 (THC-dominant) or Type 2 (balanced) in typical breeding populations, but interest in raw cannabinoid profiles and specialized processing has renewed breeder attention to these genotypes.

Breeders working with Type 3 material focus on stabilizing low-THCA genetics while maximizing CBDA yield and consistency. These lines are particularly valued in breeding programs targeting raw flower markets, specialized extraction workflows, and jurisdictions with strict THC limits. Backcrossing and progeny testing remain essential to reliably identify and fix Type 3 expression across generations
