Nutrient Deficiency
Nutrient deficiency is not a terpene but rather a plant pathology condition affecting cannabis cultivation. When plants lack essential macro or micronutrients—nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, iron, or others—visible symptoms emerge: yellowing leaves, stunted growth, purple discoloration, or necrotic spots. Breeders and cultivators monitor nutrient deficiency as a breeding selection criterion because plants with efficient nutrient uptake genetics require fewer inputs and express more stable phenotypes across variable growing conditions. Understanding deficiency responses helps identify cultivars with robust mineral-uptake traits.

Breeders select for nutrient-use efficiency by observing how parent plants respond to controlled deficiency conditions. Strains demonstrating vigorous growth and normal cannabinoid/terpene expression under marginal nutrient availability may carry genetic advantages for sustainable cultivation systems.
