Plant Structure Canopy
Plant structure canopy refers to the overall architecture and density of a cannabis plant's aerial growth—how branches distribute, how foliage clusters, and the vertical vs. horizontal spread of the canopy. Breeders classify this trait to predict yield patterns, light penetration, and cultivation difficulty. Common canopy types include dense/bushy (compact branching), airy/open (sparse lateral growth), and columnar (vertical emphasis). Canopy structure is influenced by genetics, photoperiod sensitivity, and node spacing, and lineage records frequently report these traits as critical for matching plant phenotypes to specific cultivation environments and training methods.

Breeders select for canopy structure to optimize production in target grow systems—dense canopies suit SOG and screen-of-green methods, while open structures are preferred in high-ceilings or outdoor settings. Documenting canopy architecture in breeding lines enables predictable performance across different cultivation scales and techniques.
