Aroma Phenotype
Aroma phenotype refers to the observable aromatic expression of a cannabis plant, determined by its terpene profile and how environmental factors influence volatile compound production. Unlike genotype (genetic code), phenotype is what growers and breeders actually detect through sensory evaluation or chemical analysis. Aroma phenotypes can vary significantly within a single genetic line due to cultivation conditions, harvest timing, curing methods, and storage. Breeders often document multiple aroma phenotypes within strain families to understand terpene stability and expression ranges. Accurate phenotype recording helps establish breeding standards and supports reproducibility across generations.

Breeders use aroma phenotype mapping to select for consistent terpene profiles, identify environmental sensitivities, and maintain or enhance aromatic traits in breeding programs. Phenotype stability is a key marker of a well-established strain line.
