Hybrid vigor

The tendency of a cross between two distinct cannabis lines to outperform either parent in traits like growth speed, yield, or resilience. Breeders exploit hybrid vigor when developing new strains, which is part of why modern hybrids can be hardier and more productive than the pure landraces they descend from.
