Spectrum Wavelength
Spectrum Wavelength refers to the electromagnetic spectrum ranges that affect cannabis plant development, photosynthesis, and secondary metabolite production. Light wavelengths between 400–700 nanometers (visible spectrum) drive photosynthetically active radiation (PAR), while UV-A (315–400 nm) and far-red (700–800 nm) wavelengths influence morphology, flowering timing, and cannabinoid/terpene expression. Breeders and cultivators manipulating light spectra during growth cycles can observe shifts in plant structure, internode spacing, and reported terpene profiles, though direct genetic causation remains complex. This classification intersects cultivation environment with phenotypic expression rather than discrete genetic markers.

Breeders track spectrum-responsive phenotypes to understand how lineages express under varied light conditions, informing selection for stable traits across cultivation methods. Documenting spectrum sensitivity helps predict strain performance under LED, HPS, or natural light environments.
