Cultivation Density
Cultivation density refers to the number of plants grown per unit area and the canopy structure required to support them. Breeders and cultivators evaluate strain phenotypes for their suitability to high-density, low-density, or variable spacing protocols. Plants with compact branching, shorter internodes, and tight bud structure are often selected for space-constrained environments, while open, spreading phenotypes may require more horizontal space. Density considerations intersect with light penetration, airflow management, pest pressure, and labor efficiency. Lineage records frequently report cultivars bred specifically for sea-of-green (SOG), screen-of-green (SCROG), or single-plant canopy methods.

Breeders working in commercial cultivation contexts selectively breed for plant architecture that aligns with their production density targets. Traits like apical dominance, branch angle, and lateral bud expression are tracked to predict space efficiency and yield per square meter.
