Late Flower Terpene Development
Late Flower Terpene Development describes cannabis cultivars where aromatic compound profiles shift or intensify notably in the final 2–3 weeks of flowering. Rather than reaching full terpene expression mid-flower, these genetics continue volatile compound synthesis through late-stage maturation, often correlating with cannabinoid completion cycles. This trait is frequently observed in longer-flowering photoperiod varieties and certain Sativa-leaning lines. Lineage records suggest this pattern may be influenced by underlying genetic heritage and environmental stress responses during ripening. Understanding terpene timing helps breeders select for sustained aroma development and potential stability across generations.
