Bushy Phenotype
Bushy phenotype refers to cannabis plants that develop a naturally wide, lateral branch structure with dense foliage distribution rather than tall, columnar growth. This plant architecture is influenced by internode spacing, branch angle, and growth hormone expression—traits that appear across multiple genetic backgrounds. Bushy plants typically have shorter stature, more nodes per unit height, and broader canopy spread. This morphology is commonly associated with indica-dominant genetics, though bushy phenotypes occur in sativas and hybrids depending on breeding selection. Breeders working in this category often seek bushy structure for cultivation efficiency, canopy management, and yield optimization in constrained growing environments.

Bushy phenotypes are actively selected in breeding programs targeting indoor cultivation, SOG (sea of green), and canopy-filling applications. Stabilizing compact, lateral growth patterns requires selection across multiple generations to fix internode length and branch architecture within target populations.
