Sun Stress Response
Sun stress response refers to aromatic compounds that cannabis plants produce when exposed to intense UV radiation or high-intensity light conditions. Under environmental pressure, plants synthesize secondary metabolites including terpenes and phenolic compounds as adaptive mechanisms. Breeders and cultivators observe these chemical shifts, which often correlate with changes in volatile profiles. The response is distinct from baseline terpenogenesis and represents the plant's biochemical reaction to photostress. Documentation of sun stress aroma patterns helps cultivators understand how light intensity and spectrum influence final phenotype expression.

Breeders working in outdoor and high-light cultivation environments select for genetics that produce desirable aromatic shifts under UV exposure. Sun stress response traits are often mapped during field trials to identify lines with stable, predictable secondary metabolite production under variable light conditions.
