Frost can significantly impact the cannabinoid and terpene profiles of cannabis plants. Low temperatures can alter the synthesis and accumulation of cannabinoids, potentially affecting the potency and therapeutic properties of the harvested buds. Similarly, the exposure to frost can modify the terpene composition, influencing the aroma and flavor characteristics of the final product.

The alterations in terpene profiles caused by frost can lead to changes in the aroma and flavor of cannabis. The delicate balance of terpenes responsible for the distinctive scent and taste of different strains can be disrupted, resulting in less pronounced or altered sensory experiences for consumers. Furthermore, the impact of frost on cannabinoid levels can affect the overall potency and effects of cannabis products.

Cannabis plants are generally sensitive to freezing temperatures, with most strains experiencing significant damage below 28°F (-2°C). However, some cold-resistant strains can tolerate slightly lower temperatures.
