Yield Phenotype
Yield Phenotype is not a terpene, but rather a breeding classification describing observable plant characteristics that correlate with biomass and flower production. Breeders working in commercial cultivation often track yield-related traits—such as internode spacing, branch structure, and flowering density—as heritable phenotypes. These traits are frequently polygenic, meaning multiple genes contribute to the final plant architecture. Understanding yield phenotypes helps breeders select parent plants and stabilize lines for consistency across generations. Yield optimization is a primary selection goal in modern cannabis breeding programs, distinct from cannabinoid or terpene content alone.

Breeders use yield phenotype selection to identify and propagate plants showing desirable productivity traits within a strain family. Tracking these visible characteristics across multiple generations allows breeders to establish more stable, predictable cultivars for seed production and clone propagation.
