Bract, calyx, cotyledon, pistil, stigma, cola \u2014 ever heard of these? They are neither a mark of disgrace (stigma) or soft drink (cola), but a tiny sampling of words specific to the cannabis plant's anatomy. They're also only some of the terms related to plant anatomy that the large majority of cannabis consumers have most likely never heard of. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let's add one more word to your cannabis plant vocabulary: larf. Learn what larf is, how it relates to the cannabis plant, and what you can do with your extra larf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\tWhat is larf?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you find it fun or unappealing to say, larf is slang for the small or immature buds on the lower stems of the cannabis plant. They have a feathery or fluffy appearance and are found where less light is able to get through due to the emergence of colas \u2014 a stem that grows cannabis flower \u2014 in the plant's canopy above them. This lack of light hinders their growth and reduces their size, maturity, and desirability. <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t
