Height Structure
Height structure refers to how cannabis plants distribute vertical growth across their lifecycle, ranging from compact, bushy phenotypes to tall, spindly expressions. This trait is determined by genetic factors, internodal spacing, branching patterns, and environmental pressures like light intensity and photoperiod. Breeders classify plants as dwarf, short, medium, or tall to predict canopy architecture and cultivation requirements. Height structure directly impacts grow-room efficiency, yield distribution, and training difficulty. Understanding a strain's typical height range helps growers select genetics suited to their space and management style.

Breeders track height structure as a core selection criterion when developing cultivars for specific environments—compact plants for controlled indoor settings, taller plants for outdoor acreage, and medium structures for hybrid greenhouse systems. Consistent height structure across a line improves predictability and reduces crop variability.
