Bud Structure Phenotypes
Bud structure phenotypes refer to the observable physical characteristics of cannabis flowers, including density, leaf-to-calyx ratio, and overall architecture. These traits are heavily influenced by genetics, though environment and cultivation practices also play significant roles in final expression. Breeders working in this category often distinguish between dense, compact buds and looser, airier flower formations. Structure phenotypes affect not only visual appearance but also drying time, cure characteristics, and handling during processing. Understanding bud morphology is fundamental to cannabis breeding programs seeking consistency across generations.

Breeders select for specific bud structures to achieve desired pack density, moisture retention, and processing efficiency. Different phenotypes within a strain family may show varying susceptibility to mold or bud rot, making structure selection critical for cultivation in different climates.
