I Want to Learn Anatomy of Marijuana

Can someone help me find an article or thread on here or anywhere that explains the anatomy of a marijuana plant in detail. Preferably with pictures because I have never actually seen a marijuana plant in person(other than when its ready to be smoked lol). I plan on starting my first grow soon and I want to know as much as I can about the plant itself. Thanks

It's a simple plant. You got roots, a main stem, branches that extend from the stem and leaves. The only anatomy you need to learn is how to tell a male vs a female and it's pretty obvious. Females grow flowers the plant equivalent of a vagina, males grow pollen sack, like your testicles and throw out pollen(plant sperm) to fertilize the female and make babies(seeds).
Look at some of the 'is it male or female' threads here in the newb section for good examples of boy vs girl.

Mainly I wanted to know what a cotyledon is but I also want to know details like how nutrients are distributed and how the plant grows(like literally what makes the plant grow and how) things of that nature

aa cotyledon is the baby leaves the plant first has when it sprouts out of its seed. there basicly its baby teeth and will fall off eventually after the plant develops a few nodes.
for basic anatomy id check out wikipedia, for more grow related info check out the sticky on this forum 101 already asked questions

Here Mike-- some links... One is the Marijuana abuse site showing MJ problems.. the other shows the difference between Male & Female...

Some of the Jorges Cervantes and Greg Green Books have details on even the different types of roots, parts of seeds etc...

PM me if you want/need more! ;)

so where the reach the stem wouldn't be considered a "true node"?

a node is the point on the main stem where branches and new growth develop from. the point on the stem where the cotlyedons attach isnt generally considered a true node because the cotlyedon leaves dont grow out into branches they just fall off. a true node is basicly any node except for where the cotlyedons attach

Mike....if your serious about learning about the plant.....Marijuana Botany By Robert Connell Clarke.....its a definitive advanced study of Cannabis.......... The Cannabis Grow Bible by Greg Green.......... Marijuana Horticulture by Jorge Cervantes.......... Each book is priced between $25.00 and $30.00 dollars but worth thier weight in gold.....and if you want to grow.....its super nice to have a book you can pull out when you have a question... There you go bud.....good luck!!

The internet is good...allot of info but there is nothing like a book ( guide ) you can carry it with you to the grow.....its just a great resource to have....I'm a book person anyway.....my daughter gave me a kindel for xmas......I hated to tell her to return it but I knew that I would never use it because I like books....but seriously....the books are broken down into chapter by chapter discussing every topic at length...

Any book on plant physiology, followed by books on pesticides and systemics will give you a decent understanding of the hows/whys of the plant, and how pesticides depending on their type can greatly affect the grow in question. Books on horticulture will help with this in a more broad sense, but will help in all other areas plant-related too.
