Bushy Phenotype
Bushy phenotype refers to plant structure characterized by dense lateral branching and compact growth patterns, commonly observed in cannabis cultivars with specific genetic backgrounds. This trait is often associated with indica-dominant lineages and plants expressing shorter internodal spacing. Breeders working in this category frequently document bushy phenotypes as desirable for indoor cultivation and space-efficient operations. The structural expression results from polygenic inheritance rather than a single terpene, though certain chemotypes correlate with compact growth. Understanding bushy phenotype is relevant to cultivation planning, yield distribution across the plant, and breeding programs focused on plant architecture.

Breeders select for bushy phenotypes to optimize canopy density, reduce vertical space requirements, and distribute flowering sites across lower branch structures. This trait simplifies training techniques and often produces more even light exposure without height management.
