Growth Pattern
Growth pattern refers to the structural development and morphology of cannabis plants throughout their lifecycle, including branching architecture, internode spacing, and overall form. Breeders classify plants along a spectrum from compact, bushy phenotypes to tall, stretching individuals—a trait influenced by both genetic lineage and environmental conditions. Growth pattern documentation is foundational to cultivation planning, as it affects canopy management, yield density, and resource efficiency in both indoor and outdoor settings. Landrace and modern cultivar families often display consistent growth signatures that breeders leverage for predictability and stability across generations.

Breeders intentionally select for growth patterns to develop cultivars suited to specific growing environments and techniques. Compact, bushy plants are often favored in space-limited or high-density indoor operations, while vigorous, branching phenotypes may be preferred for outdoor production or SOG (sea of green) systems.
