Thc Chemotype
THC chemotype refers to cannabis plants bred and selected primarily for high tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) concentration as their dominant cannabinoid profile. This classification emerged as a breeding focus during the late 20th century, distinguishing THC-dominant plants from CBD-dominant, balanced, or minor-cannabinoid-focused varieties. Chemotype designation describes the plant's biochemical expression rather than a specific terpene, but THC-dominant genetics often correlate with particular terpene profiles depending on parent lineage. Breeders working within THC chemotypes typically select for cannabinoid production efficiency and stability across generations. This category represents the most commercially prevalent chemotype in many regulated markets.

Breeders pursuing THC chemotypes focus on selecting plants expressing high THCA synthase enzyme activity and stable inheritance of this trait. Understanding chemotype stability helps breeders maintain predictable cannabinoid ratios across seed populations and clonal propagation.
