Flavonoid Content
Flavonoids are a broad class of polyphenolic compounds found across cannabis plant tissues, distinct from volatile terpenes but often discussed alongside them in phytochemical profiles. These compounds contribute to plant pigmentation, UV protection, and structural integrity. Flavonoid composition varies significantly between strains and phenotypes, with lineage records frequently reporting differences based on parent genetics and cultivation conditions. Modern cannabinoid and terpene testing labs increasingly measure flavonoid presence as part of comprehensive plant analysis. Breeders working in this category often select for flavonoid-rich lineages when pursuing specific aromatic or pigmentation traits.

Flavonoid profiles are used by breeders to identify and stabilize visual traits—such as purple or red coloration—and to maintain genetic markers across generations. Selection for flavonoid content can influence overall plant chemistry and may correlate with other desirable phytochemical traits in established breeding programs.
