Post Harvest Phenotype
Post-harvest phenotype refers to observable changes in cannabis plant material that occur after harvest, drying, and curing—distinct from the living plant's characteristics. These modifications include color shifts (greening or browning), terpene profile evolution, moisture content stabilization, and structural changes in flowers and trim. Documentation of post-harvest phenotypes helps breeders and cultivators understand how genetic expression continues beyond harvest and informs storage practices. Lineage records increasingly note post-harvest behavior as a trait of interest, particularly when tracking consistency across growing environments and preservation methods.

Breeders monitor post-harvest phenotype stability to predict final product quality and shelf-life performance. Understanding how a strain's compounds evolve during curing helps inform selection criteria for lines with desirable sensory or structural durability.
