Late Cycle Vigor
Late Cycle Vigor describes cultivars that demonstrate sustained growth and development momentum during the final weeks of flowering, rather than declining resource allocation typical in many cannabis plants. This trait is often documented in landrace-derived and hybrid lines, where breeders have selected for extended metabolic activity and continued bract/calyx development through harvest maturity. Growers and researchers note that plants expressing this characteristic frequently maintain green foliage, ongoing resin production, and structural resilience into week 8–10+ of flowering. The genetic basis appears polygenic, with environmental factors (light, temperature, nutrition schedules) significantly influencing expression. Breeders working in this category often cross lineages known for persistent vegetative vigor with stable flowering genetics to capture the trait while maintaining pr
