Since you want to get super technical you can't see the calyx. What you are seeing is the bract. Which houses the "calyx". It's like looking at a pussy and saying you see the cervix.

That is completely up to interpretation.

I'll refer you to

Anatomy of the Cannabis plant

To know more about the different parts of the cannabis plant will facilitate cultivation and help us achieve better results. In this post we explain the anatomy of the plant and the main characteristics and functions of each of its parts.

"Female pistillate flowers are formed of tight clusters of bracts, the small, teardrop-shaped green petals that we growers refer to as calyxes."

as for being super technical, i was definitely NOT super technical but putting a stop to this false preflower junk. Preflower gives the impression it's about to flower.

Edited to add ganjagod206 art of a calyx (The person who did the chart you refer too)

Yes your link makes my point perfectly. It's commonly called a calyx even though the correct name is bract. Well when a plant matures and shows it's bract people commonly call this "pre-flowering". I was not offended or anything. Just weird to choose the technical term in one aspect and turn around and use the colloquial term immediately after for something else.
I mean if the term pre-flower upsets you so much have another toke and see how you feel :D. :bigjoint::bigjoint::bigjoint:

Im not offended. As I stated preflower gives an impression that it's about to flower. When in fact it's just displaying it's sexual orientation. 90% of posters here have no clue between a&z so using a term such as preflower gives new growers and most people here a sense that there plants are about to flower soon. And the link I posted does not call the inside seed pod a calyx.
