Bract, ovary, stigma
Distinguish reproductive tissues from surrounding leaves and record how structures change through development and after pollination.

Reproduction Deep Lab · Flower Anatomy
Flower anatomy, from visible structure to reproductive function.
Connect bracts, ovaries, stigmas, anthers, inflorescence architecture, sugar leaves, and trichome-bearing surfaces to reproductive development. Anatomy can support observation, but it does not by itself establish potency, chemistry, cultivar identity, or harvest readiness.
Anthers + pollen structures
Recognize staminate structures separately from pistillate tissues and connect pollen production to reproductive biology rather than relying on ambiguous surface features.
Dense flowers create local environments
Flower-zone temperature, RH, airflow, tissue density, and wetness can differ from room averages. Record local context when evaluating stress or mold risk.
Do not use one visible feature alone
Stigma color is not a complete maturity metric. Pair developmental timing and tissue observations with appropriate microscopy and measured context.
Evidence boundary: flower appearance does not directly measure cannabinoids or terpenes.
