Low Internode Spacing
Low internode spacing describes cannabis plants with closely-positioned branch nodes along the main stem, resulting in a compact, bushy canopy structure. This trait is often selected in breeding programs targeting higher flower-per-square-meter yields and efficient canopy coverage. Breeders working in this category frequently report that compact phenotypes require less vertical space while maintaining lateral branch development. The trait is influenced by both genetics and environmental factors, including light intensity and photoperiod. Low internode spacing is commonly associated with Indica-dominant lineages and crossing strategies that prioritize structural density over height.

Breeders leverage low internode spacing to develop cultivars suited to space-constrained environments, LED cultivation, and high-density production systems. This trait directly supports canopy management efficiency and can reduce stretching in vegetative phases.
