Branches

The branches are parts of the cannabis plant, which grow from the main stem, giving the plant extra support for the fan leaves and flowers. The cannabis plant’s branches will grow thicker as the leaves grow and continue to absorb sunlight.

Burn

Leaf tips that turn dark from excess fertilizer and salt buildup.

Calyx

The calyx is found inside the bracts of a female weed plant. As one of the many parts of the cannabis plant, the calyx’s responsibility is to protect the bud during the critical stage of development. The calyx is practically a transparent layer protecting the female plant’s ovule.

Carbon Dioxide

Known as CO2, this odorless gas is an integral part of plant growth. Given the proper amount and spectrum of light, if CO2 levels are increased up to 1500 PPMs plant photosynthesis is increased dramatically. (Ambient air is usually in the range of 300-400 PPMs of CO2.)

Ceramic Metal Halide (CMH)

This is a variant of metal halide that uses an extremely hot ceramic tube to ionize various gasses and salts chosen for a specific spectral output. These metal halides feature much more red than a standard metal halide.

Chelate

A chemical compound composed of a metal ion and a chelating agent, usually organic such as an amino acid. Chelates bond with certain minerals to increase uptake in plants while preventing interactions with other minerals that could render minerals unavailable (lockout.)

Chlorosis

General yellowing of a plant due to a lack of chlorophyll production during photosynthesis. This is typically caused by a pH imbalance, or nitrogen or iron deficiency.
