Fresh Plant Analysis
Fresh plant analysis refers to laboratory testing of living cannabis material to measure volatile and non-volatile compounds before drying or processing. These tests capture terpene profiles, cannabinoid content, and moisture levels at harvest time, providing a baseline understanding of the plant's chemical composition in its native state. Fresh analysis differs from cured-sample testing because volatile compounds can shift significantly during drying, curing, and storage. Breeders and cultivators use fresh plant data to track genetic expression across growing conditions and to document initial terpene ratios before degradation occurs. This practice has become increasingly common in seed development and phenotype selection programs.

Breeders rely on fresh plant analysis to identify stable terpene expression in new cultivars and to compare phenotypic variation within a seedline. Accurate fresh analysis helps breeding teams select parent plants with consistent volatile profiles for cross-breeding projects.
