Plant Structure And Vigor
Plant structure and vigor refer to the physical architecture and growth robustness of cannabis plants—traits shaped by genetics, environment, and breeding practices. These characteristics include stem thickness, internode spacing, branching density, and overall resilience to stress. While not a terpene, plant structure is a critical phenotypic marker breeders select for, often correlated with cannabinoid production and yield potential. Vigor encompasses disease resistance, nutrient uptake efficiency, and recovery from environmental stress. Understanding these traits helps breeders stabilize desirable morphologies across generations and predict performance in cultivation systems.

Breeders prioritize structural traits when developing cultivars suited to specific grow methods—compact plants for indoor production, hardy root systems for outdoor resilience. Vigor selection directly impacts breeding program sustainability, as vigorous lines require fewer inputs and produce more consistent phenotypes across seed batches.
