Long Flowering Phenotype
Long flowering phenotype describes cannabis plants that require extended bloom cycles—typically 10–14+ weeks—before reaching maturity, compared to standard 8–9 week varieties. This trait is commonly associated with certain landrace origins, particularly sativas and sativa-dominant hybrids developed in equatorial or extended-season regions. Breeders classify this as a phenotypic expression influenced by both genetics and environmental factors like photoperiod sensitivity. Understanding flowering duration is essential for cultivation planning, seed selection, and regional legality compliance. Long-flowering plants often develop distinct aromatic and terpene profiles during their extended maturation window.

Plant breeders working with long-flowering genetics use this trait to extend secondary metabolite development and terpene complexity. Cultivators select for or against extended flowering based on climate, indoor grow parameters, and harvest timelines.
