USA. Washington state. Seattle. A forest of plants is flowering in one of the marijuana grow rooms at AuricAG. Cannabis buds just look like a knobby tangle of leaves, but the calyx is what actually comprises the female flower. Underneath those tiny leaves (called “sugar leaves”) stand tear-shaped nodules which are the calyxes, and they come in many different shapes, sizes, and colors. Calyxes typically contain high concentrations of trichomes, or glands that secrete THC and other cannabinoids. AuricAG is a licensed producer and processor of Marijuana in Washington State.
