Bracts

Bracts are small leaves that develop close to the cannabis plant’s flowers and function as part of the plant’s protective structure.

More About Bracts

In cannabis plants, bracts are located close to the flowers and differ from the larger fan leaves in both size and position. They are often associated with the plant’s flowering areas and may be covered in trichomes.

The term is used primarily in cannabis cultivation and plant descriptions, where distinctions are made between different types of leaves on the plant. Bracts are often discussed in relation to the flowering stage and the plant’s development.

In cannabis terminology, the word is also used in discussions about trimming, plant anatomy, and the identification of flower structures.
