Narrowleaf Phenotype
Narrowleaf phenotype describes cannabis plants exhibiting characteristically thin, elongated leaflets compared to broadleaf varieties. This trait is commonly associated with Cannabis sativa subspecies and equatorial/tropical landrace genetics, though narrowleaf expressions occur across diverse breeding lines. The morphology includes reduced leaf surface area and typically longer internodal spacing. Narrowleaf phenotypes often develop faster vegetative growth and may display different cannabinoid/terpene profiles compared to broadleaf counterparts, though individual variation is substantial. This classification remains important in breeding programs for understanding parental contribution and predicting offspring structure.

Breeders working with narrowleaf genetics often seek the trait for vigor, light penetration, and potential pest-resistance advantages in dense canopies. Narrowleaf × broadleaf crosses frequently produce intermediate phenotypes valuable for hybrid stability and morphological diversity.
