Rubbing a young sativa stem and smelling your fingers gives early hints about the terpene profile before flowering.

Rubbing the main stem between two fingers around week four of veg and smelling the result tells you more about a sativa seedling than most people realise. Different phenotypes from one pack often give off distinct notes, from citrus and pine to something closer to incense, and those tend to carry through to the finished flower. The pheno hunting guide on https://hazesativaseeds.com uses the stem rub as a first cut when narrowing a large pack down to a few keepers. It is not precise, but it lets you drop obvious duds before they take up flowering space.
