Diploid (2n) vs Tetraploid (4n)

𧬠Diploid Cannabis Structure (2n)
Standard Paired-Node Architecture

πΏ Diploid cannabis expresses a classic paired-node structure, producing two opposing growth nodes per internode, each associated with a single axillary meristem and anther site.
Key Traits:
- π 2 chromosome sets (2n)
- π± Two opposing nodes per internode
- πΏ Single axillary meristem per node
- π Normal internodal spacing
- πΌ Standard anther and pollen formation
- π Balanced leaf symmetry & vascular flow
Grower shorthand:
Classic structure, predictable growth, baseline cannabis architecture.
π¬ Tetraploid Cannabis Structure (4n)
Stacked-Node / Multimeristem Architecture

πΏ Tetraploid cannabis frequently expresses a stacked-node phenotype, compressing four distinct nodes into a single internodal position, often clustered around a shared anther or floral initiation point.
Key Traits:
- 𧬠4 chromosome sets (4n)
- π§± Four nodes stacked at one internode
- π±π± Increased meristem density
- π Compressed internodal spacing
- πͺ Thicker stems and petioles
- πΌ Enlarged floral organs & pollen grains
- π§ Dense, compact growth habit
Grower shorthand:
Stacked nodes, heavy structure, amplified expression.

βοΈ Ultra-Tight Comparison (Catalog-Ready)
π± Diploid cannabis forms two opposing nodes per internode, while π¬ tetraploid cannabis compresses four stacked nodes into the same spaceβresulting in thicker structure, tighter growth, and enlarged reproductive organs.
