Stretch Ratio
Stretch ratio is not a terpene, but rather a plant morphology trait describing the vertical distance between leaf nodes during the vegetative and flowering phases. Breeders and cultivators monitor stretch ratio to predict canopy architecture and space requirements. Some cultivars display compact growth with minimal internodal spacing, while others exhibit pronounced vertical extension, particularly during the transition to flowering. Stretch behavior is influenced by genetics, light spectrum, photoperiod, and environmental conditions. Understanding a strain's typical stretch ratio helps inform cultivation planning, training methods, and final plant dimensions.

Breeders select for consistent stretch ratios to develop cultivars suited to specific growing environments—compact varieties for limited vertical space, and taller varieties for outdoor or greenhouse production. Predictable stretch characteristics are valued in commercial breeding programs for crop uniformity and yield optimization.
