Plant Architecture Internode Spacing
Internode spacing refers to the distance between successive leaf nodes along a cannabis stem—a heritable trait influenced by genetics and environment. Tight internode spacing produces compact, bushy plants with nodes clustered closely together, while wide spacing creates lanky, vertically-oriented growth. This architectural feature affects canopy density, light penetration, and overall plant profile. Breeders working in this category select for spacing preferences based on cultivation method and desired yield structure. Internode length is commonly associated with indica versus sativa lineage tendencies, though phenotypic expression varies significantly within families.

Breeders optimize internode spacing for specific growing systems: tight spacing suits dense canopy management and SOG methods, while wider spacing may support vertical growth in height-restricted environments. Selection for consistent internode length stabilizes plant structure across generations.
