Dense Canopy Phenotype
Dense canopy phenotype refers to a plant structure trait where cannabis plants develop tightly clustered branching and foliage coverage. This characteristic is influenced by genetics, photoperiod sensitivity, and internode spacing—the distance between leaf nodes on stems. Plants expressing dense canopy traits often produce fuller, more compact growth patterns compared to open or airy structures. Breeders have selected for this trait across multiple strain families, particularly in lines targeting indoor cultivation where space efficiency matters. Dense canopy phenotypes can present both advantages (light penetration challenges, humidity management needs) and cultivation considerations worth understanding.

Breeders working in controlled-environment genetics often select parents showing dense branching to develop cultivars suited to indoor systems and consistent canopy management. Understanding internode length and lateral branch expression helps geneticists predict yield structure and environmental requirements across generations.
