Dense Bract Phenotypes
Dense bract phenotypes refer to cannabis plants that develop tightly-packed, resinous flower structures with minimal visible leaf material between calyxes. This trait appears frequently in indica-dominant and hybrid lineages, where selective breeding has emphasized compact flowering architecture. Bract density influences cultivation efficiency, trim work, and visual aesthetics in finished flower. Lineage records commonly associate dense bracting with Central Asian and Hindu Kush-derived genetics, though modern breeding has distributed this trait across diverse backgrounds. The phenotype is evaluated during plant selection for seed production and clone preservation.

Breeders select for dense bracts to improve yield per unit volume, reduce trim labor, and achieve market-preferred flower presentation. This structural trait is often combined with resin production and terpene profiles to meet cultivation specifications.
