Tight Bract Phenotype
The Tight Bract Phenotype describes cannabis plants exhibiting densely packed floral bracts with minimal spacing between them. This trait is often observed in indica-leaning genetics and cultivars selected for compact flower structure. Breeders working in this category frequently report correlation with higher trichome density per unit area and improved structural integrity during handling and drying. The phenotype has been documented across multiple lineages, particularly within Hindu Kush and Afghan-descended cultivars. Selection for tight bracts influences both final flower appearance and post-harvest processing characteristics.

Breeders prioritize tight bract structure for yield density, mechanical stress resistance, and consistent cannabinoid distribution across the flower surface. This trait is commonly stacked with other morphological markers in breeding programs targeting specific market-segment flower characteristics.
