Indica Morphology
Indica morphology refers to the characteristic plant structure observed in Cannabis indica subspecies and indica-dominant hybrids. These plants typically exhibit shorter stature, broader leaflets, denser internodal spacing, and compact branching patterns compared to sativa morphotypes. Indica morphology is influenced by both genetic inheritance and environmental adaptation, with breeders selecting for these traits across multiple generations. Historical cultivation in mountainous, shorter-season regions favored compact growth forms that mature quickly. Understanding indica morphology remains central to breeding programs focused on yield efficiency, indoor cultivation, and stability across growing conditions.
