Growth Cycle
Growth Cycle refers to the phenological stages of cannabis development—vegetative, flowering, and maturation phases—rather than a specific terpene compound. Breeders and cultivators monitor terpene production across these stages, as volatile compound profiles shift dramatically during transition and late flowering. Early-stage plants often express different terpene markers than mature flowering plants; pinene and limonene may dominate vegetatively, while myrcene and caryophyllene concentrations typically increase during bloom. Understanding terpene timing helps breeders select for desired aromatic stability and helps growers optimize harvest windows for specific chemical profiles.

Breeders track terpene expression across growth cycles to identify stable chemotypes and predict final aromatic outcomes. Observing terpene shifts during flowering helps distinguish phenotypes within a strain family and informs selective breeding for consistent end-product profiles.
