Cannabis anatomy explained: roots for nutrient uptake, stem for transport, leaves for photosynthesis and flowers for reproduction and resin production.
Main parts: Roots (nutrient uptake), stem (transport), leaves (photosynthesis), flowers (reproduction). Leaf types: Cotyledons, fan leaves (5-9 fingers), sugar leaves (1-3 fingers). Sexual organs: Male (pollen sacs), female (stigmas/pistils). Trichomes: Resin glands with cannabinoids. Nodes: nodes for lateral shoots.
Indica plants are short and bushy, flower in 8–10 weeks, and provide relaxing effects, while Sativa plants are tall and slender, take 10–14 weeks to flower, and have energizing effects.
Your choice depends on the effects you're looking for: Indica for relaxation and pain relief, Sativa for energy and creativity, or hybrids for a combination of both.
Hybrids are crosses between Indica and Sativa that combine the characteristics of both genotypes, resulting in varying effects and growth traits depending on the specific genotype.
