Mineral Absorption Phenotype
The mineral absorption phenotype refers to a plant's genetic predisposition to uptake and accumulate certain mineral compounds from substrate and nutrient solutions. In cannabis cultivation, this trait influences how efficiently plants process macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium) and micronutrients (calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc). Phenotypes exhibiting strong mineral absorption often display vigorous growth, dense foliage, and robust resin production. This characteristic is polygenic, meaning multiple genes regulate absorption efficiency. Breeders tracking this trait may observe correlations with terpene expression, as mineral availability affects secondary metabolite synthesis.

Cultivators and breeders monitoring mineral absorption phenotypes can optimize feeding schedules and substrate composition to enhance plant vigor and potentially influence cannabinoid and terpene profiles. Understanding these phenotypes helps identify parents for crosses aimed at producing nutrient-efficient cultivars suited to specific growing environments.
