Flower Phenotype
Flower phenotype refers to the observable characteristics of cannabis inflorescences—including bract structure, calyx density, trichome distribution, and pistil coloration. These traits are genetically determined but influenced by environmental conditions during flowering. Breeders distinguish phenotypes to standardize cultivar expression and predict resin production patterns. Documentation of flower phenotype is foundational in seed selection and line stabilization, as consistent expression across generations indicates genetic stability. Unlike terpene profiles, flower phenotype is a morphological classification rather than a chemical compound.

Breeders select for specific flower phenotypes to achieve desired resin coverage, harvest efficiency, and visual consistency in commercial cultivars. Stabilized phenotypes allow producers to predict yields and quality metrics across multiple growing cycles.
