Late Flowering Swell
Late Flowering Swell refers to a pronounced aromatic intensification that occurs during the final weeks of a cannabis plant's bloom cycle, typically in weeks 7–9 of flowering. This aroma development pattern is often associated with strains carrying Kush, Haze, or Afghani genetics, where terpene production accelerates as flowers mature and resin glands become fully developed. Breeders working in this category frequently report that strains exhibiting this trait produce minimal scent in mid-flower but develop robust, complex aromatic profiles only as harvest approaches. This characteristic can present challenges in cultivation environments requiring discrete odor control, since the intensity builds gradually rather than remaining consistent throughout flowering.

Growers and breeders tracking this trait value it for final-stage quality assessment and harvest timing decisions. Strains demonstrating late aromatic swell may require extended veg periods or specific environmental adjustments to maximize terpene expression before maturity.
