Ph Range
pH Range refers to the acidity or alkalinity spectrum that cannabis plants prefer during cultivation, typically between 6.0-7.0 for soil and 5.5-6.5 for hydroponic systems. While pH itself is not a terpene or volatile compound, it directly influences terpene expression and overall secondary metabolite production in the plant. Soil or nutrient solution pH affects nutrient availability and root function, which in turn impacts the biochemical pathways that generate aromatic compounds. Breeders and cultivators track pH stability as an environmental control parameter when documenting how genetic lines express their full terpene profiles. Inconsistent or extreme pH levels can suppress monoterpene and sesquiterpene synthesis, making pH management a foundational aspect of phenotype characterization.

Cannabis breeders document pH sensitivity as part of strain stability data, since cannabinoid and terpene expression varies with root-zone chemistry. Maintaining consistent pH across test grows allows breeders to isolate genetic factors from environmental ones when evaluating terpene-profile heritability.
