Breeding Cannabis With Intention: Genetics, Data & Long-Term Success | Ryan Lee (Chimera Genetics)

What does real cannabis breeding look like when it’s done with discipline, data, and long-term goals? In this full presentation, Ryan Lee, Founder of Chimera Genetics, breaks down modern cannabis breeding using real-world examples, published research, and commercial case studies. Moving far beyond “pheno-hunting,” Ryan explains how breeders can intentionally develop cultivars that deliver consistency, predictability, and purpose, whether for commercial production, flavour development, or effect-driven outcomes. 00:00 – Introduction: Why Cannabis Breeding Needs Structure 04:15 – Pheno-Hunting vs Intentional Breeding 09:30 – Filial Breeding, Selfing & Backcrossing Explained 16:45 – Mendelian Genetics & Trait Inheritance 24:20 – Cannabinoid Ratios: THC, CBD & CBDV 32:10 – Reducing Lab Costs with TLC Screening 39:30 – Terpene Profiles as Inherited Trait Sets 47:55 – Why One Cross Isn’t a Breeding Program 55:40 – Goal-Driven Cultivar Development 01:03:30 – Final Takeaways & Audience Q&A 🌱 Topics Covered Why most cannabis breeding today lacks structure Filial breeding, selfing, and backcrossing — when (and when not) to use them Mendelian inheritance explained for cannabis Dominant vs recessive traits in cannabinoids and terpenes How cannabinoid ratios (THC, CBD, CBDV, CBG) are inherited Using thin layer chromatography (TLC) to reduce testing costs How terpene profiles are inherited as functional “trait packages” Why naming a cultivar ≠ preserving its genetics Breeding toward defined goals instead of hype Building cultivars optimized for specific environments or use cases Ryan also shares insights from: Pharmaceutical breeding projects Terpene quantification and lab visualization (PhytoFacts-style reporting) Long-term cultivar development strategies used in competitive markets This presentation is essential viewing for: Breeders Licensed producers Cultivators R&D teams Anyone serious about the future of cannabis genetics 🎙️ Recorded live in the CANNA Breeders Zone at Grow Up Expo & Conference in Vancouver 2026
