Strain Classification
Strain classification systems organize cannabis genetics into categories based on morphology, cannabinoid ratios, and ancestry. Common frameworks include Sativa/Indica/Hybrid designations (based on plant structure and origin), though modern genomics research questions their predictive value for effects or terpene profiles. Breeders and seed banks also classify by CBD:THC ratios (high-CBD, balanced, THC-dominant) and by documented lineage families (Haze, Kush, Diesel). These classification tools help breeders track genetic stability, select parent plants, and communicate breeding objectives—though no single system is universally standardized across the industry.

Breeders rely on classification frameworks to organize breeding stock, identify complementary crosses, and maintain records of phenotypic stability across generations. Clear classification also enables breeders to communicate desired traits and ancestry with other genetics workers.
