Broad Leaflet Structure
Broad leaflet structure refers to cannabis plants displaying noticeably wide, expansive leaf blades relative to petiole length. This phenotypic trait appears across indica-dominant lineages and some hybrid crosses, where leaflets typically measure proportionally wider than tall. The characteristic develops during vegetative growth and remains stable through flowering. Broad leaflets are often associated with shorter internodal spacing and more compact plant architecture, though leaf width varies independently from overall plant height. This structure is frequently observed in breeding lines originating from Hindu Kush, Afghan, and Central Asian cannabis populations.

Breeders working with broad leaflet structure often select for it when developing compact, dense phenotypes suited to space-limited cultivation environments. The trait correlates with other morphological markers—such as branching density and flower cluster arrangement—making it a useful visual indicator during phenotype selection and early generation stabilization.
