Mr T,
You might need thick skin from time-to-time on this forum.
So... my old green Mazda 626 was painted with chlorophyl. Hoodathunkit??

All plants have chlorophyll, that are green that is. That is what gives the plants the green to even blueish colors. Its okay bud to ask questions, everyone has to start somewhere eh?
You live, you learn.

As far as what nutrients are stored in the calyxes would likely be a little N-P-K and trace minerals. As long as you ain't got no pollen stored in those suckers you should be good to go Unless your breeding, that is.

It has been awhile plus I am getting on towards old so here is a link on chlorophyll itself

The link has a really good overview and enough information to use specific search terms for more research should you want to go further.

It makes sense that many or most plants have little or no chlorophyll in their flowers. After all, that part of their anatomy is for reproduction. Since pollination relies heavily on attracting insects, the colors and scents necessary to accomplish that goal must be concentrated in the flowers. If they store chlorophyll in the flowers that leaves less room for the terpenes and other compounds needed to attract insects.
The above stated, some plants do store chlorophyll in their flowers, perhaps because they're not dependent on insects for pollination. I don't yet understand the reproductive process of cannabis but now I'm interested. Time to search for some cannabis porn so I can learn how they "do it".

Yes, if it's green it has chlorophyll. But that doesn't mean if it's not green, it doesn't. Plants can have colors that overwhelm the green pigmentation so we can't see the green.
Yes I over simplified.
My intent is that people learn the basics. One could go over his posts (not to leave Dougie Curtis unmentioned) and write an essay titled "The Social Media Grower - Myths, Bullshit and Outright Malarkey From The Ground Up".
Phaeton does a better job with a more receptive style.

lol Mikell…hopefully this doesn’t qualify as one of those...
Yep, if it’s green it probably contains chlorophyll. Not always the case though, it can be masked by other compounds.
A little cannabis flower anatomy. The calyx is the collective term for the sepals, in most cases with cannabis there are 2 (sepals). The main purpose of the calyx is to protect the flower while developing and to protect its reproductive parts. A pistil is comprised of a stigma, style, and ovary (reproductive parts). What you see with cannabis is, the stigma and style are fused into one long organ (actually 2, the hairs) and the ovary is hidden, contained within the calyx. The stigma accepts the pollen, the style is where the pollen tubes grow to the ovary.
The cannabis flower has no petals/corolla. No need since it’s a wind pollinated species.
The calyx usually contains chlorophyll. In a lot of other flowers, so do the pistil, or at least parts of it, usually the style and ovary.
The calyxes in cannabis also produce a lot of glandular trichomes, most likely as another protection mechanism. In those is where the good stuff is.

Does the calyx have Cellulose in it ?
Seems like that's a standard building block for plants.

Such naughty talk... I'm starting to feel a bit horny/randy. My ladies are denied the company of males but the wind rubs them together occasionally. I guess that makes them le... never mind.
Mmmmm... chlorophyll looks pretty good to me!!
Yep, cellulose is pretty much found in every cell of every plant (cell walls). It’s probably the most abundant organic compound on the planet.
Sorry brown thumb, did you think some of the language in that explanation was that provocative? Must have been the long organ or hidden ovary, lol.
That damn Kirk always seemed to get the good ones.

I've always stored the chloroform in a small duffle bag, along with some duck tape in the trunk under the spare tire.
