Low Center Gravity
Low Center Gravity is not a terpene but rather a plant structure descriptor used in cannabis breeding to describe cultivars with compact, dense branching patterns and weighted lower canopy development. Breeders working with this phenotype prioritize genotypes that naturally distribute biomass toward the base and mid-tier of the plant rather than top-heavy architecture. This trait is often associated with indica-lineage genetics and certain ruderalis-derived crosses, though specific expression depends on environmental factors and nuclear genetics. Understanding structural traits like this helps breeders select for cultivation efficiency, light penetration, and structural stability without external support.

Breeders select for low center gravity morphology to reduce lodging risk, improve airflow through the canopy, and optimize yield density in compact growing spaces. This trait is particularly valuable in commercial breeding programs targeting SOG (sea of green) or high-density cultivation systems.
