Tight Bract Structure
Tight bract structure refers to cannabis flowers where the leaf-like bracts are densely packed and closely adhered around the calyx and developing cannabinoid-rich tissue. This characteristic is often associated with higher flower density and reduced interstitial spacing between floral components. Lineage records frequently report tight bract structure in indica-dominant genetics and certain photoperiod-sensitive cultivars. The density of bracts can influence airflow within the flower mass, affecting drying conditions and susceptibility to environmental stress during late flower. Breeders working in this category often select for tight structure when targeting compact plant phenotypes or shelf-stable dried flower presentations.

Breeders prioritize tight bract structure for improved yield per unit volume and enhanced structural integrity during handling and transport. Selection for this trait is common in commercial breeding programs seeking consistent, dense flower phenotypes across multiple generations.
