Late Flower Development
Late Flower Development is not a terpene but rather a phenological trait—a timing characteristic describing cannabis plants that enter and progress through flowering cycles more slowly than typical photoperiod responses would suggest. This trait is often observed in certain landrace and hybrid populations, where genetic factors delay the initiation of floral structures despite consistent light cycles. Breeders working in this category have documented delayed flower set in some Sativa-dominant lineages and high-altitude adapted cultivars. Understanding this timing variance is relevant for cultivation planning, as late-flowering phenotypes require extended growing seasons or adjusted photoperiod management. The trait appears polygenic and can be selected for or against across generations, making it significant in strain development for specific environmental conditions.

Breeders select for or against late flower development depending on regional climate and cultivation goals. Extended flowering timelines in outdoor programs may reduce yields in short-season environments but can increase cannabinoid and terpene accumulation in long-season regions.
