Cannabis grows on long skinny stems with its large, iconic fan leaves extending out from areas called\u00a0<em>nodes<\/em>. Cannabis really starts to stand out\u00a0in her flowers\u00a0where unique and intricate formations occur.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Cola<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Also known as the terminal bud, cola refers to the plant\u2019s \u201cbud site\u201d where tight female flowers bloom. The main cola (sometimes called the apical bud) forms at the very top of the plant, while smaller colas occur along the budding sites below. The number and size of cannabis colas can be increased through a variety of growing techniques like topping, low stress training (LST), and screen of green (ScrOG).<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Calyx<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>To the unknowing eye, cannabis buds just look like a knobby tangle of leaves, but the\u00a0<em>calyx<\/em>\u00a0is what actually comprises the female flower. Look closely underneath those tiny leaves (called \u201csugar leaves\u201d) and you\u2019ll find those tear-shaped nodules. These are the calyxes, and they come in many different shapes, sizes, and colors. Calyxes typically contain high concentrations of trichomes, or glands that\u00a0secrete\u00a0THC and other cannabinoids.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Pistil<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Out from the calyxes peek tiny red-orange hairs; these vibrant strands are called\u00a0<em>pistils<\/em>, and they serve to collect pollen from males. Pistils begin with a white coloration and progressively darken to yellow, orange, red, and brown over the course of the plant\u2019s maturation. They play an important role in reproduction, but pistils bring very little to the flower\u2019s potency and taste.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Trichome<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Despite their minute size, it\u2019s hard to miss the blanket of crystal resin on a cannabis bud. This resin (or \u201ckief\u201d when dry) is secreted through translucent, mushroom-shaped glands on the leaves, stems, and calyxes. Trichomes were originally developed to protect the plant against predators and the elements. These clear bulbous globes ooze aromatic oils called\u00a0terpenes\u00a0as well as therapeutic\u00a0cannabinoids\u00a0like THC and\u00a0CBD. The basis of\u00a0hash\u00a0production depends on these trichomes and their potent sugar-like resin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The cannabis plant is comprised of several structures, many of which we can find on any ordinary flowering species.
