Internode Spacing
Internode spacing refers to the distance between leaf nodes along a cannabis stem—a structural trait rather than a terpene, though often discussed in breeding contexts. Plants with tight internode spacing develop dense, compact canopies, while wide spacing creates more open structures. This trait is controlled by genetics and environmental factors like light intensity and photoperiod. Breeders select for internode spacing based on cultivation goals: compact plants suit small spaces and indoor production, while wider spacing can facilitate airflow in dense canopies. Understanding internode architecture helps breeders predict plant form without relying on phenotypic expression alone.

Breeders working in controlled-environment agriculture prioritize tight internode spacing for yield efficiency and space optimization. Open internode structures are sometimes preferred in outdoor or greenhouse settings where light penetration and humidity management benefit from increased airflow.
