Tight Internodal Spacing
Tight internodal spacing refers to minimal distance between leaf nodes along a cannabis plant's main stem and branches. This structural trait is often associated with indica-leaning genetics and compact growth patterns. Breeders track internodal spacing as a morphological marker because it influences canopy density, light penetration, and cultivation efficiency. Plants with tighter spacing may require different pruning or training approaches compared to stretched phenotypes. This characteristic is frequently documented in breeding records and phenotype descriptions, helping cultivators predict plant structure before cultivation.

Plant breeders working with compact or high-density canopy targets often select for tight internodal spacing to maximize bud sites per linear stem length. This trait is commonly combined with other structure genes to create cultivars suited to specific growing environments and training systems.
