Flower Density Phenotypes
Flower density phenotypes describe the structural variation in cannabis inflorescence compactness across genetic lines. Breeders categorize plants as producing tight, consolidated flowers (dense phenotypes) or looser, more open calyx arrangements (airy phenotypes), with many cultivars falling between these endpoints. Density is influenced by both genotype and environmental factors including light intensity, air circulation, and nutrition. These phenotypic expressions affect cultivation logistics, post-harvest handling, and resistance to mold pressure. Understanding flower density inheritance helps breeders select parents for specific production environments and target markets. Documentation of density traits across generations supports predictable breeding outcomes.

Breeders working with flower density phenotypes select for tight structures in humid climates to reduce botrytis risk, while maintaining airy phenotypes for specific aesthetic or market preferences. Density inheritance patterns are tracked across F1, F2, and backcross generations to stabilize desired architectural traits in new cultivars.
