It's a great space saver!
 
Well, you sure have some lovely rhythms, for an ass ;) :love:

And some very fine looking flowers as well :yummy:

Minding our Pees and Queues

A few idle thoughts on taxonomy. Words about words in other words.

As cannabis cultivation comes out of the closet, as it were, and we join the growing number of gardeners around the world we see that they are using certain terms to mean specific things.

A cultivar, for example is a plant grown from a clone. I have a tent full of cultivars. We use this word to mean strain. It doesn’t.

We could also improve things by losing the word strain when we are actually talking about a variety. If you’ve popped a couple seeds of a variety you love then good on you!

People who communicate better than we do are starting to remind us that the word strain refers to bacteria and viruses, not plants.

It won’t be for much longer that we can say ‘oh, but that’s not the sense of the word I’m meaning’. Words already have meanings. We have been taught and/or learned somehow some of the incorrect terms. As the relative newcomers to the scene I believe it behooves* us to look around and start to get a few things right.
*even non-donkeys.
Bracts is a good example of our adoption of the correct terminology. Bracts being what we used to call calyxes.

These ruminations, for those with the stomach for it, follow a post @syenite made about cannabis taxonomy.

To bumper-sticker that here, when describing a cannabis variety the words indica and sativa have become (not just the nonsense* they always were) irrelevant.
For the sake of the precision that clear and effective communication can deliver, we are collectively beginning to refer to varieties as tropical or sub tropical/low or high latitude, high or low altitude, broad leafed or thin leafed, drug or non-drug varieties. This really is a good thing.
*the word indica means ‘from India’.
a). Mostly, the plants we think of as indica are actually afghanica.
b). Cannabis from India, being equatorial, ie. low latitude, is mostly what we have thought of as sativa.
The word sativa is derived from roots meaning useful. This is a useful plant. This is hemp, actually.

These are some thoughts to mull with your next one. :high-five:

Very excellently put. I have adopted ‘variety’ a lot myself in recent months. And your mention of bracts and calyxes reminds me of a photo-diagram I have in the works that’s nearly finished. On a list tho, with harvest documentation!!

I drew it out once, when I was studying it - to help me remember the parts.

wanted to share this - a refining of my knowledge about pistils. A pistil is actually the whole unit made-up by an ovule and 2 stigmas, and these are enclosed inside the bract. So what we see - the lovely white hairs - are only part of a pistil, they are the stigmas. Here’s a drawing I did in my notebook while listening to the lecture. I don’t really draw... so keep that in mind :)

EDIT: “reminds me of a photo-diagram I have in the works that’s nearly finished. On a list tho,”
Which I just decided is perfectly acceptable and doesn’t need any more work! I’m gonna drop it right here is an attachment because it seems so relevant! And more finished than I remember.

And I’ll thank you for the push I obviously needed to get it out. I had an idea it was under-par and needed tweaking... nah. Good to go. Unless it’s wrong! :eek: Someone will tell me if it is I’m sure :)


:ciao: :passitleft:
 
Saved... :thanks: Amy!

Wunnerful notes, Ames :blunt:
I think I understand the difference between stigma and pistil now :nerd-with-glasses:
:thanks: for dropping the beat that ;)

stigma and pistil now

Stigmas are part of pistil :thumb:
Thanks for inspiring me to dig it out. I very much like the way you framed the subject. I’m going to drop both over in my journal too, if ya don’t mind :nomo:
 
I love your infographic Amy! :thanks:
A fantastic photo. :nerd-with-glasses: I’m keeping my eyes peeled for glimpses of the perianth now:high-five:
 
it’s very often still on the seed, especially new/fresh seeds.
 
A minor epiphany

Question: on rare occasions when things are looking up how do you keep your hopes and dreams in one place and stop them flying away?

iKR? If it weren’t for the four I’m trying to reverse I would only have these eight left in the bloom room. . .
