Flower Architecture
Flower architecture refers to the physical structure and morphology of cannabis inflorescences—including calyx density, bract formation, trichome distribution, and overall bud compactness. These traits are genetically heritable and shaped by both lineage and environmental conditions during flowering. Breeders evaluate architecture for yield efficiency, pest resistance, and post-harvest handling characteristics. Dense, tight architecture is often associated with certain indica-dominant lineages, while sativa-dominant strains frequently exhibit more open, airy structures. Understanding flower architecture is fundamental to breeding for specific cultivation goals and market demands.

Breeders actively select for flower architecture traits to optimize cannabinoid and terpene expression, improve disease resistance, and enhance mechanical harvesting compatibility. Tight calyx-to-leaf ratios and robust bract structure are common selection targets in modern breeding programs.
