Late Flowering Terpene Peak
Late flowering terpene peak refers to the pattern whereby certain cannabis cultivars accumulate or express elevated terpene concentrations during the final 2–3 weeks of flowering, rather than earlier in bloom. This shift is commonly associated with genetic lines that prioritize secondary metabolite development in maturation stages, often tagged as late-expression or finish-dominant phenotypes. Lineage records frequently report this trait in cultivars carrying specific terpenoid synthase alleles inherited from parent strains. Breeders working in this category observe delayed aromatic intensity and may select for it when targeting cultivar stability or shelf-life characteristics.

Growers and breeders select for late terpene peaks when aiming for extended harvest windows or cultivars that maintain terpene richness post-cure. This trait is relevant to seed development strategies where finishing speed must be balanced against aromatic compound development.
