Temperature Stress Phenotype
Temperature stress phenotypes refer to observable plant characteristics that emerge when cannabis plants experience environmental temperature fluctuations—either cold or heat exposure during growth. These phenotypes include leaf discoloration (purpling, reddening, yellowing), altered leaf shape, reduced internode spacing, and modified trichome density. Temperature stress responses are genetically influenced; some cultivars express dramatic color shifts while others show minimal visual change under identical conditions. Breeders and cultivators document these traits as they can affect final plant morphology, cannabinoid/terpene expression, and harvest timing. Understanding temperature phenotypes is valuable for both breeding selection and cultivation optimization across different climates.

Breeders working in cold or variable climates selectively breed for stable temperature-stress phenotypes to identify hardy genetics with predictable responses. Temperature tolerance traits are often tracked across generations to develop cultivars suited to specific regional growing conditions.
