Default aging/temperature and flower patterns

i've heard that temperature influences the flower count but do it also affect the strength of the patternings on the flower? eg. cornu-cervi can be blotchy or sharp distinct strips and patterns due to individual genetics. but will temperature change the blotchiness to a sharp pattern (for example). will age also improve so that the blotchiness will sharpen up?

No Nick, I think what your refering to is clones - some will just be darker and some thicker in bars and spots. Tempts can be of some factor but your talking more of saturation.
I find age improves the shapes.

and so with that being said, saturation doesnt change with temperature and age. so if i want to be sure, buy them in bloom?
