Stigma Prominence
Stigma prominence refers to the visual visibility and density of the pistil structures (female reproductive organs) on cannabis flowers. These hair-like structures range from barely visible to highly pronounced across cultivars, creating distinct visual phenotypes. Breeders and cultivators document stigma prominence as a morphological marker because it correlates with flower maturation timing and can indicate harvest readiness. High stigma prominence—where pistils remain visibly extended and colorful—is often associated with later-stage flower development. This classification is particularly useful in breeding programs for tracking maternal genetics and phenotype consistency across generations.

Breeders working in this category use stigma prominence as a reliable visual descriptor for phenotype selection and stability testing. Consistent stigma expression across a line helps establish uniform flowering timelines and harvest indicators within seed populations.
