Horizontal Canopy Training
Horizontal canopy training refers to cultivation techniques where growers deliberately manipulate plant structure to spread growth laterally rather than vertically. Common methods include low-stress training (LST), screen of green (SCROG), and topping, which redirect apical dominance and encourage wider, bushier plant architecture. Breeders and cultivators working with this approach often select for strains exhibiting flexible stems, lateral branching vigor, and responsive growth patterns. This classification focuses on plant structure traits rather than cannabinoid or terpene profiles, making it relevant across diverse genetic backgrounds. The technique is widely documented in commercial cultivation literature and breeding programs seeking to maximize canopy coverage in space-constrained environments.

Breeders selecting for horizontal canopy suitability prioritize traits like stem flexibility, inter-nodal spacing patterns, and branch angle genetics. Strains developed for SOG or SCROG systems often show consistent lateral branching and predictable response to training interventions.
