====Bract====
[[File:Calyx Growth.png|thumb]]
[[File:Bract Anatomy.png|thumb|The bract in detail by Juan Ganjagod|link=Special:FilePath/Bract_Anatomy.png]]
The first part of the flower that forms, the Bract provides protection for the pistils and stigma and is the most resinous part of the bud. As the plant matures the Bract will swell and engulf more of the stigma. The Bract is often identified as a calyx but the calyx actually resides inside of the bract.<ref>The Nomenclature of Female Flowers, 2017
==Plant metrics==
=== Transpiration rate ===
The rate at which water is being absorbed by the roots and expelled through the leaves via the stomata. The [[Temperature and Humidity#VPD|VPD]] of the environment a plant is in determines the maximum rate of transpiration.
This is a key metric for determining the growth rate of a plant.
===Inter-nodal distance===
Distance between [[Anatomy_of_Cannabis#Nodes|nodes]] on the main stem.
