Cannabis leaf morphogenesis, phyllotaxy, plant architecture, reproductive transition, inflorescence development, trichome development, and senescence across a complete life cycle.
Visual lesson 10
Maturation, senescence & bract change
Follow bract expansion, stigma condition, glandular-trichome maturation, resin-head aging or dehiscence, and surrounding tissue senescence as partly asynchronous processes influenced by genotype, flower age, and sampling location rather than as a universal week-by-week harvest clock.
Primary visual specification
Asynchronous bract, stigma, and trichome maturation sequence
Create an academically accurate asynchronous bract, stigma, and trichome maturation sequence for the Maturation, senescence & bract change lesson. Use neutral studio lighting or clean academic illustration conventions, realistic botanical proportions, readable labels where needed, no yellow cast, and no decorative elements that compete with the teaching objective.

PracticeCan you explain what the visual is showing?
Why should flower maturity not be assigned from one calendar week or stigma color alone?
