Cannabis leaf morphogenesis, phyllotaxy, plant architecture, reproductive transition, inflorescence development, trichome development, and senescence across a complete life cycle.
Visual lesson 08
Leaf morphogenesis & leaflet complexity
Follow Cannabis leaf development from simple early true leaves toward more complex palmately compound leaves and later reductions in leaflet complexity, using published node-by-node patterns as genotype- and condition-specific examples rather than a universal developmental clock.
Primary visual specification
Cannabis leaf morphogenesis developmental strip
Create an academically accurate cannabis leaf morphogenesis developmental strip for the Leaf morphogenesis & leaflet complexity 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.

Why should leaflet number on one Cannabis leaf not be treated as a universal developmental clock?
