Iron Deficiency Chlorosis
Iron deficiency chlorosis is not a terpene, but rather a nutritional disorder observed in cannabis cultivation. It manifests as yellowing of new leaf growth while veins remain green, indicating insufficient iron availability to the plant despite adequate soil iron content. This condition typically results from pH imbalance, poor root health, or antagonistic nutrient interactions that impede iron uptake. While chlorosis itself produces no aromatic compounds, it significantly impacts plant physiology and cannabinoid/terpene production if left unaddressed. Understanding chlorosis is essential for breeders and cultivators maintaining genetic expression and secondary metabolite development.

Breeders working on cultivar resilience often select for genetic markers associated with efficient iron uptake and pH tolerance. Populations exhibiting strong iron utilization demonstrate more stable phenotypic expression across diverse growing media, making this trait valuable for commercial breeding programs.
