Broad Leafed Phenotypes
Broad leafed phenotypes refer to cannabis plants displaying characteristically wide, expansive leaf structures compared to narrow-leafed variants. These plants typically originate from cannabis indica subspecies or indica-dominant crosses, with leaf blades often measuring 9-13mm in width. Broad leafed plants are commonly associated with shorter flowering times, denser bud structures, and higher leaf-to-stem ratios. Lineage records frequently report broad leafed phenotypes emerging from landraces and breeding populations originating in Central Asia, the Hindu Kush, and similar geographic regions. The trait is inherited polygentically, meaning multiple genes influence leaf width expression.

Breeders working in this category often select for broad leafed phenotypes to stabilize flowering duration and plant structure in hybrid programs. The trait serves as a morphological marker for indica influence and is frequently combined with sativa genetics to modulate plant architecture and cultivation characteristics.
