Long Internodal Spacing
Long internodal spacing refers to greater distance between leaf nodes along a cannabis plant's main stem and branches. This structural trait is influenced by genetics, light conditions, and growing environment, with some cultivars naturally expressing wider spacing than others. Breeders working in selection programs often track this characteristic as it affects plant architecture, canopy structure, and cultivation efficiency. Plants with longer internodes typically develop fewer nodes per unit height, resulting in a more open, airier structure compared to compact variants. This trait intersects with growth pattern classification and is commonly documented in breeding records when describing plant morphology.

Breeders selectively work with long internodal spacing when targeting specific training methods, vertical garden systems, or indoor cultivation heights. This structural trait can influence yield architecture, light penetration through the canopy, and pest management strategies in production environments.
