Chapter 11
THE BASICS OF PLANT CARE
Cannabis plants will grow like most other
plants and will eventually fill out into a
Christmas tree shape toward the end of their
flowering cycle.
From its vegetative cycle to its flowering
cycle the cannabis plant develops in three most
noticeable sections. The top cola, the mid-
section and the base. The top cola will develop
a large amount of bud and generally is a very
flower-full part of the plant. The mid-section
contains bud and stems along with old and new
leaves. This section will fill with buds that
grow in between the nodes near the stem.
Although these buds will generally be smaller
in size to the main cola they should be just as
potent. The bottom section of your plant will
contain the large fan leaves and a small amount
of bud. Also towards the bottom of the plant
you will see some dead leaves that are about to
fall away and may look yellow.
Once a grower knows about the plant's
different sections they can treat each section
