Indica Phenotype
Indica phenotype refers to plant morphology and growth patterns historically associated with cannabis varieties originating from South Asian highland regions. These plants typically display shorter stature, wider leaves, denser branching, and faster flowering cycles compared to sativa-type morphologies. The term describes observable physical traits rather than a terpene profile, though certain terpene combinations are frequently documented in indica-dominant cultivars. Breeders working with indica genetics often report terpene expressions commonly tagged as earthy, spiced, or woody notes, though individual variation remains significant across cultivars.

Indica phenotypes are foundational in modern breeding programs for developing shorter-cycle, compact cultivars suited to controlled environments. Breeders cross indica-dominant lines to stabilize flowering time, plant structure, and secondary metabolite production for commercial cultivation consistency.
