Glossary
Calyx
The whorl of sepals of a flower collectively forms the outer floral envelope or layer of the perianth enclosing and supporting the developing bud; usually green.
Clone
An organism descended asexually from a single ancestor, such as a plant produced by layering or a polyp produced by budding.
Dominant
Of, relating to, or being an allele that produces the same phenotypic effect whether inherited with a homozygous or heterozygous allele.
F1
When you cross two different IBL strains for the FIRST time, it is called the F1 generation.
F2
When you cross two of the same F1 hybrid (inbreed), it is called the F2 generation.
Hemp
A coarse bushy annual with palmate leaves and clusters of small green flowers; yields tough fibers.
Hybrid
A strain made up of two genetically unlike parents, IBL or hybrid.
IBL
(Inbred line) is a genetically homogeneous strain that grows uniformly from seed. An IBL is homozygous, or true breeding for particular traits.
Off-spring
The progeny or descendants of a plant considered as a group.
Out-cross
A female crossed with a male with the soul intention of inbreeding the sibling line to the mother plant.
P1
original parental generation used to develop F1 hybrids or stabilized, true breeding strains.
Phenotype
The observable, qualifiable and quantifiable representation of a trait.
Pistil
The female, ovule-bearing organ of a flower, including the stigma, style, and ovary.
Pollen
The fine powder like material consisting of pollen grains that is produced by the anthers of seed plants.
Potency
The quality or state of being potent. strength/efficacy/effectiveness
Recessive
Tending to go backward or recede. Of or relating to a trait that is expressed only when the determining allele is present in the homozygous condition.
Resin
Trichomes come in three different types, Bulbous, Capitate-Sessile and Capitate-Stalked.
Stamens
The pollen-producing reproductive organ of a flower, usually consisting of a filament and an anther.
TGA... Team Green Avengers, The Green Avengers and The Green Avenger.
THC
Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol & delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol - THC mimics the action of anandamide, a neurotransmitter produced naturally in the body, which binds with the cannabinoid receptors in the brain to produce the high associated with marijuana. THC possesses high UV-B (280-315 nm) absorption properties.
Trait
A genetically determined characteristic or condition: a recessive trait.
Trichomes
Cannabis resin glands.
Vegetation
The process of growth in plants, prior to producing flowers/blooms/fruits
