Visual lesson 09

Phyllotaxy & developmental nodes

Follow documented Cannabis changes in axillary structures, stipules, bracts, solitary flowers, and opposite-to-alternate phyllotaxy across development while treating the published node numbers as genotype- and condition-specific observations rather than a universal Cannabis clock.

Primary visual specification

Cannabis node and phyllotaxy developmental reference strip

Create an academically accurate cannabis node and phyllotaxy developmental reference strip for the Phyllotaxy & developmental nodes 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.
