Long Flower Phenotype
The Long Flower Phenotype describes cannabis plants that extend their blooming period significantly beyond typical timelines, often requiring 10–14+ weeks to full maturity. This trait appears across multiple genetic backgrounds and is influenced by both photoperiod sensitivity and individual plant genotype. Breeders working in this category often note that extended flowering correlates with denser trichome development and complex terpene profiles, though final cannabinoid ratios vary by cultivar. Long-flowering varieties are commonly associated with sativa-leaning or equatorial landrace heritage, where extended season adaptation favored gradual maturation. Climate, feeding regimen, and light cycle stability significantly impact expression of this phenotype in cultivation.

Breeders select for long-flower traits when targeting specific terpene development windows or when crossing for hybrid vigor and cannabinoid complexity. Stabilizing this phenotype requires multi-generation selection and careful documentation of flowering onset and completion markers.
