Seed Banking
Seed banking is not a terpene, but rather a preservation practice fundamental to cannabis genetics conservation. Breeders and seed companies maintain seed banks to preserve genetic diversity, protect rare or heirloom lineages, and ensure long-term viability of desirable traits across generations. Proper seed banking involves controlled storage conditions—typically cool, dry, and dark environments—to extend seed longevity and maintain germination rates. This practice is essential for documenting breeding lines, preventing genetic drift, and allowing breeders to revisit historical genetics for future hybridization projects. Understanding seed viability and storage protocols is critical for anyone working with cannabis genetics at scale.

Breeders rely on seed banking to maintain F1, F2, and stabilized line repositories, creating a genetic library for developing new cultivars. Proper archival practices allow breeders to cross historical genetics with modern selections, preserving rare traits while advancing breeding goals.
