Are there any good resources that have good images and descriptions for different cannabis characteristics?
I know the standard stuff like ‘narrow-leaflet’, etc. but I lack the vocabulary (and often invent my own) when say describing the difference between a ‘squat chonker’ and a ‘lanky boi’.
Like what do you call it when the buds form thick columns as opposed to when branches shoot off multiple buds? How do I describe different bud shapes, etc.
Any guidance on resources would be much appreciated
Lateral branching with internodal spacing is most common with NLD, Meristem stacked nodes is more BLD. I have seen lateral branching on but doesn’t go to the extreme as some NLDs that will just keep bushing out.
As for the descriptions of buds, it could go like this, foxtails,dreads, grinspoon or spindly, spears for the NLDs, the BLDs buds could be describe as Crowns, Cone, knuckled tops. I will say I’m not the best at describing but I hope this helps you describe them.
BLD/NLD : no one don’t give a damn fuck about our scene, it’s why none real botanist destroyed yet the “genius idea” to describe cultivars with a primitive description of leave’s shapes.
We know what is the Loci6, its retrovirus and we already screen plants for THCa, CBDa with PCRs … 80’s are over. Half century ago.
Categorizing cannabis in a binary system entirely based on the spacing of veins of leaves … i don’t even want to know what drug was used to find this idea lol
I’d be interested in a similar resource. I’ve read a couple of botany books and they are helpful in learning the right words to describe plant structures and growth patterns.
I snagged a quick link as to not come empty handed
