Low Center Gravity
Low Center Gravity refers to cannabis plant morphologies where the lateral branching and flower mass distribute weight lower on the plant's vertical axis, creating a squat, bushier silhouette rather than a tall columnar form. This architecture is commonly associated with Indica-dominant lineages and plants expressing compact internode spacing. Breeders working in outdoor and greenhouse environments often select for this trait to improve structural stability, reduce lodging risk in high-wind conditions, and simplify canopy management. The trait influences both vegetative growth patterns and final plant footprint, making it relevant to cultivation strategy and space optimization decisions.

Cannabis breeders prioritize low center gravity in programs targeting resilient outdoor phenotypes and compact indoor cultivars. Selection for shorter plant height, wider branch angles, and early lateral development strengthens this trait across successive generations.
