Harvest Readiness Phenotypes
Harvest readiness phenotypes describe observable plant characteristics used by cultivators and breeders to determine optimal harvest timing. These include trichome coloration (clear, cloudy, or amber), pistil darkening, leaf senescence patterns, and calyx swelling. Different phenotypes within the same genotype may mature at varying rates depending on environmental conditions and cultivation techniques. Understanding these visual markers helps breeders develop cultivars with predictable harvest windows and consistent maturation profiles. Documentation of harvest phenotypes is important for standardizing cultivation protocols and maintaining strain stability across generations.

Breeders select for consistent harvest-readiness phenotypes to create cultivars with reliable, synchronized maturation. This trait is particularly valuable in controlled environments where precise harvest timing directly impacts yield consistency and cannabinoid/terpene profiles.
