Broad Leaf Phenotypes
Broad leaf phenotypes refer to cannabis plant morphologies characterized by wider leaflets and more expansive foliar surface area compared to narrow-leaf varieties. These structural traits are inherited through nuclear and cytoplasmic genes, with historical associations to certain geographic lineages and breeding populations. Broad-leaf phenotypes often correlate with longer flowering times and particular terpene profiles, though leaf width itself is a morphological rather than chemical trait. Breeders working in this category have long tracked leaf morphology alongside cannabinoid and terpene expression to document heritable patterns across generations.

Breeders select for broad-leaf traits when pursuing vigor, yield potential, or to maintain regional landrace characteristics. Leaf morphology serves as a visual marker in early generation screening and is frequently cross-referenced with flowering time, plant structure, and secondary metabolite accumulation in breeding records.
