Phenotype Structure
Phenotype structure refers to the observable physical characteristics of a cannabis plant that result from genetic expression combined with environmental conditions. This includes plant height, branching patterns, leaf morphology, bud density, and overall architecture. Breeders assess phenotype structure to identify consistent traits within a cultivar and to select parent plants for specific cultivation goals. Structure phenotypes range from compact, bushy growth to tall, open architectures, with significant variation possible even within a single genetic line depending on growing conditions, photoperiod, and nutrient regimens.

Phenotype structure is foundational in breeding programs because it directly influences yield potential, cultivation feasibility, and consistency across seed batches. Breeders selectively stabilize desirable structural traits—such as lateral branching for sea-of-green systems or tight internodal spacing for compact plants—to create predictable, commercially viable cultivars.
