Cannabinoid Chemotypes
Cannabinoid chemotypes classify cannabis plants by their primary cannabinoid profile rather than terpene content alone. Type I plants are THC-dominant, Type II are roughly balanced THC/CBD, and Type III are CBD-dominant; additional chemotypes include CBG-dominant and rare cannabinoid-focused plants. Chemotype classification emerged from early phytochemical research and remains central to breeding programs, regulatory frameworks, and seed selection. Lineage records frequently report cannabinoid ratios as a core trait descriptor, distinct from but often correlated with aroma and terpene profiles. Understanding chemotypes helps breeders predict offspring cannabinoid expression and consumers identify seed genetics aligned with breeding goals.

Breeders select parent plants by chemotype to stabilize desired cannabinoid ratios in offspring. Chemotype stability varies widely across genetic lines; some F1 hybrids segregate into multiple chemotypes in F2 generation, while established inbred lines often breed true.
