Ok so Cannabis Lets see It has Eukaryotic cells. They are a Herbaceous plant, Angiosperm Dicot. I am guessing Mesophyte? Do the stems have Lenticells? wait thats just woody plants I think. Oh and Trichomes aka trichs are on plants to offer protection in a variety of ways. What exactly do they do on Weed? oh and each node has axillary buds? haha cramming for this test and this is what Im doing. wish me luck :weed:

With my limited knowledge of MJ I'm going to guess they are a annual and not a biennial or perennial but not sure. I must say my grow of MJ made me interested in the subject however this one class has made me rethink my whole major haha. This stuff is realy interesting I just dont know what the hell I would do with a degree haha open a greenhouse?

Thanks man. Continuing on. I think Cannabis has only two Apical Meristems one of shoot growth and one for roots. Also I see alot of people here have either nice tight node spacing or they are stretched like a MOFO. In the botany world that would called Internodal spacing and tight is what we want :-P

Anyone know for sure what trichomes do on Cannabis plants? book says excessive light, uv raidiation, excessive air temp.,and attack. Im guessing its a combo of all the above. Does humidity affect the opening and closing of Stoma? haha wish I had this textbook but tailor made for my plant of choice

haha yah good job. book answer is open for exchange of gases and closed for water retention. I only said humidity because mine sucks in the grow area and I imagine it is easier to retain water with high humidity and vice versa, hopefully my humidifier comes in soon

In nature, only the strong survive, and it is hypothesized by biologists that trichomes evolved as a defense mechanism of the cannabis plant against a range of potential enemies (1). Trichomes, from the Greek meaning ‘growth of hair,’ act as an evolutionary shield, protecting the plant and its seeds from the dangers of its environment, allowing it to reproduce. These adhesive sprouts form a protective layer against offensive insects, preventing them from reaching the surface of the plant. The chemicals in the trichomes make cannabis less palatable to hungry animals and can inhibit the growth of some types of fungus. The resin also helps to insulate the plant from high wind and low humidity, and acts as a natural ‘sun-screen’ in protecting against UV-B light rays.
