Long Internode Spacing
Long internode spacing refers to greater physical distance between successive leaf nodes along the main stem and branches of a cannabis plant. This trait is controlled by genetics and environmental conditions, with some cultivars exhibiting naturally wider spacing than others. Plants with long internodes often develop more open, airy canopy structures compared to compact varieties. This characteristic has been documented across multiple cannabis lineages and breeding programs. The spacing between nodes influences light penetration, air circulation patterns, and overall plant architecture during development.

Breeders working in sativa-dominant and equatorial-origin lineages frequently encounter long internode spacing as a heritable trait. This characteristic is sometimes selected for in breeding programs targeting specific canopy profiles or growth habits, though selection pressure varies depending on cultivation environment and desired plant structure.
