Female Phenotype
Female phenotype is not a terpene but rather a plant sex expression trait observed in dioecious cannabis populations. Cannabis plants produce either male or female reproductive structures, with female plants commonly associated with cannabinoid and terpene production in breeding programs. Historically, breeders have selected for female-only cultivars to maximize flower yield and chemical diversity, as male plants typically produce lower terpene concentrations. Understanding female phenotype expression is foundational to modern cannabis breeding, particularly in feminized seed development and clone-based cultivation.

Breeders working with female phenotypes focus on stabilizing sex expression through selective breeding and feminized seed production techniques. Female-dominant lines form the backbone of contemporary cultivar development, allowing breeders to eliminate male plants and concentrate genetic selection on resin production, terpene profiles, and cannabinoid ratios.
