Light Stress Volatiles
Light stress volatiles are secondary metabolites plants produce in response to excessive, insufficient, or spectral-imbalanced light exposure. These compounds represent a biochemical stress response that can alter the terpene and volatile profiles of cannabis flowers and leaves. Breeders and cultivators document these volatiles to understand how light conditions influence final plant chemistry. The presence and composition of light-stress compounds vary significantly depending on genetics, light intensity, photoperiod, and spectrum used during cultivation. Identifying these volatiles helps inform optimal growing protocols for specific cultivars.

Breeders working in controlled-environment systems monitor light-stress volatiles to assess cultivar resilience and chemotype stability under varying light regimens. Understanding which genotypes produce undesirable stress chemistry versus stable flavor profiles informs selection for indoor and outdoor production lines.
