Seed Propagation
Seed propagation is not a terpene, but rather a fundamental breeding methodology in cannabis genetics. This practice involves growing plants from seed—as opposed to cloning—to generate genetic diversity within a strain family. Breeders working in seed propagation leverage natural variation and recombination to develop new phenotypes, stabilize traits across generations, and preserve seed-based lineages. Seed propagation records are often central to documented strain genealogy, particularly in heirloom and open-pollination breeding programs. Understanding seed propagation practices is essential for tracking genetic authenticity and breeding intentions across commercial and preservation-focused cannabis operations.

Breeders prioritize seed propagation when seeking to establish genetically stable F1, F2, and IBL (inbred line) cultivars. Seed-based lineages enable outcrossing strategies, phenotype selection, and long-term germplasm preservation compared to clonal-only programs.
