Cannabis breeding

Cannabis breeding involves selecting plants with desirable traits, such as higher potency, specific flavors, or particular growth characteristics, to create new strains. Breeders cross-pollinate different cannabis varieties, resulting in offspring that inherit qualities from both parent plants. This process can enhance certain features like yield, resistance to pests, or flower color. Breeding also allows for the development of strains with varying cannabinoid and terpene profiles, catering to different user preferences or medical needs. Overall, it’s a careful balance of genetics aimed at improving the plant and its uses.
