Odor Phenotype
Odor phenotype refers to the observable aromatic profile expressed by a cannabis plant, determined by its genetic makeup and environmental conditions during cultivation. This trait encompasses the volatile compound ratios—primarily terpenes—that create the plant's distinctive scent signature. Breeders document odor phenotypes as a consistent marker within strain families, noting variations like fruity, earthy, floral, or pungent profiles that often correlate with terpene-dominant chemotypes. Environmental factors including temperature, humidity, and light cycles can influence how strongly a given odor phenotype expresses. Recording odor phenotypes across multiple grows helps breeders stabilize strains and predict aromatic consistency in offspring.

Odor phenotype is a key selection criterion in breeding programs, allowing cultivators to identify and preserve plants with target aromatic profiles. Stable odor phenotypes across generations indicate successful line stabilization and are often documented in strain registries for breeding transparency.
