Canopy Morphology
Canopy morphology describes the overall shape, density, and structure of a cannabis plant's above-ground growth pattern. Breeders and cultivators classify plants along a spectrum from compact/bushy phenotypes to tall/stretch-prone varieties, with variation in branch spacing, leaf-to-bud ratio, and lateral development. This trait is largely determined by genetics but significantly influenced by light intensity, photoperiod, and growing environment. Understanding canopy morphology is essential for cultivation planning, as it affects light penetration, airflow, spacing requirements, and harvest efficiency. Lineage records frequently report canopy type as part of phenotype stability assessment across generations.

Breeders working in indoor cultivation often select for dense, compact canopy morphology to maximize vertical space efficiency and reduce stretch. Outdoor-focused programs may favor taller or more open structures to improve air circulation and reduce mold pressure in humid climates.
