Growth Habit
Growth habit refers to the physical structure and developmental pattern of a cannabis plant—whether it grows tall and lanky (sativa-leaning), compact and bushy (indica-leaning), or somewhere between. This trait is determined by genetics, photoperiod sensitivity, and environmental factors like light intensity and spacing. Breeders document growth habit as a key descriptor because it affects cultivation requirements, yield potential, and space efficiency in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growth habit is not an aroma itself, but rather a structural phenotype that breeders track alongside terpene profiles and flowering time.

Breeders select for specific growth habits to create cultivars suited to particular growing conditions—compact plants for limited vertical space, or taller plants for outdoor production. Understanding growth habit patterns in parent lines helps predict F1 offspring structure and optimize cultivation protocols.
