Bract Density
Bract density refers to the concentration and tightness of small leaf-like structures (bracts) that surround cannabis flower clusters. High bract density produces tight, compact flower formations, while lower density yields more open, airy structures. Bract arrangement is determined by genetic factors inherited through parent lines and is observable during flower development. This trait affects visual appearance, handling characteristics, and final flower structure independent of potency or cannabinoid content. Breeders working in this category often select for specific bract densities to achieve desired phenotypes and market aesthetics.

Breeders use bract density as a visible, heritable selection criterion when establishing stable lines or pursuing particular phenotypic goals. Dense bract structure is commonly associated with certain indica-leaning genetics, while sativa-leaning lines may exhibit more open bract arrangements.
