Fiber Cannabis
Fiber cannabis refers to industrial hemp cultivars bred for cellulose and bast fiber production rather than cannabinoid content. These plants are selected for tall stature, strong stalks, and minimal branching—traits that maximize harvestable fiber length. Fiber-type genetics have been documented across numerous landraces and modern breeding lines, particularly in European and Asian cannabis agriculture. The term encompasses both historical dual-purpose cultivars and contemporary industrial hemp varieties developed under strict THC regulations. Breeding for fiber characteristics often involves selection for stem diameter, rind thickness, and fiber fineness, which differ substantially from flower or seed-focused breeding goals.

Breeders working in industrial hemp prioritize fiber-cultivars for their structural traits and regulatory compliance profiles. Fiber genetics represent a distinct breeding axis from cannabinoid-rich or seed-production lines, requiring specialized selection criteria and cultivation protocols.
