Cannabis genetics

Cannabis genetics refers to the study of the hereditary traits of the cannabis plant, influencing its characteristics like appearance, growth patterns, and effects. Cannabis has three main species: Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis. Through selective breeding, growers create various strains with desired traits, such as higher THC or CBD content, specific flavors, or quicker flowering times. Understanding these genetics helps consumers choose the right strain for their needs, whether for medicinal use or recreational enjoyment, as different strains can provide unique effects and benefits.
