Gibberellin
Gibberellins are a class of plant hormones that regulate growth and development in cannabis, as in most plant species. In cannabis cultivation and breeding, gibberellins influence stem elongation, leaf expansion, and flowering onset. Breeders and researchers sometimes apply synthetic gibberellins (GA₃, GA₄/₇) to study phenotypic traits, induce flowering in certain genotypes, or promote seed germination under stress conditions. Natural gibberellin levels vary among cultivars, contributing to observable differences in plant architecture—such as internode spacing and overall height. Understanding gibberellin sensitivity helps breeders select for desired structural traits and environmental responsiveness.

Breeders working in controlled-environment systems sometimes use gibberellin application as a research tool to standardize flowering timing across experimental lines or to reveal recessive morphological traits. Gibberellin response can indicate genetic differences in growth regulation, making it a minor but measurable marker in comparative breeding programs.
