Lodging Susceptibility
Lodging susceptibility refers to a cannabis plant's tendency to bend, break, or collapse under environmental stress—particularly heavy rain, wind, or the weight of dense flowering. While not an aroma itself, this structural trait is documented in breeding lineages and cultivation records as a phenotypic characteristic influenced by genetics, stem strength, and plant architecture. Breeders tracking plant structure often note lodging resistance or susceptibility alongside other traits when developing cultivars for specific growing environments. Taller, thinner-stemmed plants with heavy apical buds commonly show higher susceptibility, whereas stockier, shorter phenotypes tend toward greater structural stability.

Breeders working in outdoor or high-wind environments prioritize lodging resistance as a selection criterion, often crossing for stronger internodes and lateral support. Understanding a lineage's lodging history informs decisions about plant spacing, support systems, and cultivar suitability for different cultivation methods.
