Heat Accumulation Gdd
Growing Degree Days (GDD) is a heat-accumulation metric used in cultivation to predict cannabis phenology and flowering progression. The system tracks cumulative warmth above a baseline temperature (typically 50°F/10°C) throughout a growth cycle. Breeders and cultivators reference GDD requirements when evaluating whether a strain's maturation timeline suits specific climate zones or indoor conditions. Regional climate data paired with GDD thresholds helps predict harvest windows and assess strain suitability before planting. Lineage records from seed companies often include GDD ranges to guide selection for short-season, temperate, or extended-photoperiod environments.

Cannabis breeders track GDD accumulation when adapting cultivars to different growing regions and seasonal lengths. Selecting parent plants with favorable heat-efficiency traits supports breeding programs targeting early-finishing or climate-resilient phenotypes.
