Chlorosis Phenotype
Chlorosis phenotype refers to a yellowing or paling of plant tissue caused by insufficient chlorophyll production or breakdown. In cannabis cultivation, chlorosis can result from nutrient deficiencies (particularly nitrogen, magnesium, or iron), pH imbalances, root stress, or environmental factors like light exposure and temperature fluctuations. While sometimes an undesired trait in production settings, some breeders have observed chlorosis-prone phenotypes within certain lineages, which can indicate sensitivity to specific growing conditions or nutrient uptake patterns. Understanding chlorosis expression helps cultivators diagnose plant health issues and guides breeding work toward more robust, nutrient-efficient genetics. Chlorosis phenotypes are often documented in breeding records as markers of environmental responsiveness rather than desired end traits.

Breeders monitor chlorosis expression to identify genetic predispositions toward nutrient sensitivity or environmental stress tolerance. Selective breeding away from easily chlorotic phenotypes has improved overall plant resilience and vigor in modern cultivars.
