Long Internodes
Long internodes refers to cannabis plants displaying extended spacing between leaf nodes along the main stem and branches. This structural trait is commonly associated with sativa-dominant genetics and equatorial landraces, where vertical growth patterns maximize light penetration in dense forest canopies. Breeders distinguish between photoperiod-dependent internode elongation (driven by light cycle) and genetic predisposition toward naturally spaced nodes. Long internode phenotypes typically produce taller plants with lower leaf density, which can influence canopy management, airflow dynamics, and harvest logistics in cultivation settings.

Breeders working with long internode genetics often select for or against this trait depending on cultivation constraints and target plant architecture. Crossing long-internode sativas with compact indica types is a foundational breeding strategy for modulating plant height and branching structure in modern cultivars.
