West Coast Genetics
West Coast Genetics is not a terpene, but rather a breeding lineage and regional classification associated with cannabis cultivars developed in California, Oregon, and Washington since the 1980s-90s. Strains within this category often trace ancestry to Skunk #1, Northern Lights, Haze, and Thai genetics, shaped by West Coast grower preferences for potency and resin production. Breeders working in this tradition have historically emphasized stable, high-yield phenotypes adapted to Pacific climates. The term reflects both geography and a set of informal breeding goals rather than a specific chemical profile, though West Coast-associated strains frequently display terpene patterns common to their parent lines.

Breeders leverage West Coast lineages as foundational genetic stock for stabilization work and regional adaptation trials. This classification helps identify which parent plants carry desirable traits for commercial and artisanal production in similar climates.
