Broad Leaflet Type
Broad leaflet type refers to cannabis plants displaying wider, more expansive leaf blades compared to narrow-leaflet morphologies. This trait is associated with indica-influenced genetics, though leaflet width exists on a spectrum across the species. The broader leaf structure is thought to correlate with adaptation to shorter growing seasons and lower-light environments in breeding history. Broad leaflet plants often exhibit stockier branching patterns and denser canopy architecture. This classification is primarily observational and used by breeders to categorize germplasm and predict growth structure, independent of cannabinoid or terpene profiles.

Breeders select for broad leaflet type when targeting compact plant architecture, improved light penetration management in dense canopies, or when crossing to introduce indica-associated structural traits. Leaflet morphology serves as a visible marker for parentage verification and phenotype stability across generations.
