Leaf Margin Serration
Leaf margin serration refers to the degree of jaggedness or smoothness along a cannabis leaf's edges, ranging from deeply serrated (finely toothed) to nearly entire (smooth). This trait appears across both indica and sativa lineages and is influenced by genetics, environmental factors during growth, and leaf maturity stage. Breeders often observe serration patterns as a secondary morphological marker, though it remains less predictive than other structural traits. Serration intensity can vary between upper and lower leaf canopy positions on the same plant. Documentation of serration characteristics contributes to strain phenotype cataloging and cultivation record-keeping.

Breeders working in preservation and lineage mapping sometimes reference serration patterns alongside more stable traits like leaf width and internode spacing. Serration observations are generally considered minor selection criteria compared to flowering time, yield structure, or terpene profiles.
