Late Flower Terpenogenesis
Late Flower Terpenogenesis describes cannabis plants where significant terpene accumulation occurs primarily in the final 2–3 weeks of the flowering cycle, rather than throughout development. This pattern means cannabinoid and terpene profiles diverge in timing—THC/CBD may plateau mid-flower while aromatic compounds continue concentrating. Lineage records frequently report this trait in certain Sativa-leaning and equatorial landrace backgrounds, where extended photoperiods historically selected for delayed volatile maturation. The phenomenon is influenced by environmental factors including light intensity, temperature, and harvest timing, making it particularly relevant to late-season outdoor cultivation.

Breeders working in this category must adjust harvest windows carefully to capture peak terpene expression without overripening cannabinoid profiles. Understanding late terpenogenesis is valuable for cultivars intended for aromatic or terpene-focused breeding goals, as early-harvest strategies may yield incomplete volatile profiles.
