Female cannabis phytomer organization, solitary flowers, branching, photoperiod response, inflorescence architecture, and floral development.
Visual lesson 03
Bud development
Track changing branch order, bract expansion, stigma appearance, floral density, resin coverage, and senescence while recognizing that a visible cannabis bud is a condensed inflorescence, not one flower.

Flower development
Structural progression rather than fixed calendar-week assumptionsKnowledge check
PracticeCan you explain what the visual is showing?
Why is flower development better judged from several structural changes instead of one sign?
