Leaf Size Broad
Broad leaf morphology describes cannabis plants exhibiting wider, more spatulate foliage relative to narrow-leaf phenotypes. This trait is commonly associated with indica-influenced genetics and plants adapted to shorter growing seasons or cooler climates. Broad-leaf plants typically feature increased surface area per leaf, which can influence light capture efficiency and transpiration rates. The trait appears across many landrace and modern hybrid populations, though expression varies significantly within individual cultivars. Breeders working in this category often select for broad-leaf structure when targeting specific growth patterns, flowering times, or environmental resilience.

Broad-leaf phenotypes are frequently retained or amplified in breeding programs targeting compact plant structure, faster flowering cycles, or climate-adaptive traits. Plant structure modifications—including leaf size—remain key selection criteria for indoor cultivation optimization and regional cultivation suitability.
