Reduced Transpiration
Reduced transpiration refers to cannabis plants exhibiting lower water loss through leaf surfaces, a trait often associated with drought-adapted phenotypes or specific environmental expressions. This characteristic can manifest through thicker leaf cuticles, smaller stomatal apertures, or altered stomatal density on leaf tissue. Lineage records frequently report reduced transpiration in genetics derived from arid or semi-arid growing regions. The trait is commonly observed under water-stress conditions or in cultivars selected for low-input cultivation environments. Understanding transpiration rates is relevant to cultivation efficiency and resource management rather than consumer outcomes.

Breeders working in water-scarce regions or pursuing sustainable cultivation practices have selected for reduced transpiration to lower irrigation demands and improve drought resilience. This trait can be combined with other environmental-response genetics to develop cultivars suited to specific growing conditions.
