Potency
Potency in cannabis genetics refers to the concentration of cannabinoids—primarily THC and CBD—rather than a terpene itself. Breeders and researchers use potency as a quantifiable trait when selecting parent plants for targeted cannabinoid profiles. Potency levels are typically measured through laboratory analysis and can range significantly across cultivars depending on genetics, growing conditions, and harvest timing. Understanding potency in breeding contexts helps distinguish between plants bred for cannabinoid accumulation versus aroma or plant structure traits. Potency classifications often overlap with other genetic markers, making it a key metric in modern cannabis strain development.

Breeders working toward high-cannabinoid cultivars prioritize potency through selective crosses, tracking cannabinoid expression across generations. Potency data informs decisions about which parent plants to combine when developing new strains with specific cannabinoid targets.
