Open Canopy Structure
Open canopy structure refers to a plant architecture characterized by widely-spaced lateral branches, sparse foliage density, and increased light penetration to lower nodes. This phenotype is often observed in sativa-dominant genetics and certain breeding lines selected for airflow and light exposure. The trait influences cultivation strategy, as plants with open canopies typically require different spacing, defoliation, and environmental management compared to dense-canopy varieties. Breeders working in this category often evaluate open structure as a functional trait linked to disease resistance and flower development patterns in high-humidity environments.

Cultivators and breeders select for open canopy structure to reduce powdery mildew and botrytis risk in dense growing environments. This trait is frequently crossed into modern hybrids targeting commercial production where airflow control and preventative cultivation practices are critical.
