In the Advanced Grow guides Glossary it defines parthenocarpy as seeds produced with out fertilization. I feel this is incorrect, here is some info and links to support my opinion.
http://waynesword.palomar.edu/termfl2.htm
Parthenocarpic: Term applied to the development of the ovary of a flower into a fruit without fertilization. Fruits that develop parthenocarpically are typically seedless.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenocarpic
http://www.hyperdictionary.com/dictionary/parthenocarpy

In marijuana parthenocarpy, the floral bract (the fruit) enlarges in size as though there were a seed growing inside, and the capitate-stalked glandular trichome is triggered into growth on the floral bract and concomitant leaves.
(basically it means a mature unpollenated female flower)



What do you think?

Hi Bob,

I am presently campaign manager for StonedForLife who is running for President of the World. I was wondering if you would consider joining the campaign staff as head strategist and speech writer?

If not, would you consider running mate?

Another one for ya, again in the advanced Grow Guide's Growers Glossary. The definitions for capitate sessile and capitate stalked resin glands are backwards. You might add a reference to the fact that the stalked glands evolve from the sessile.

Also defining capitate as: having a round head or terminating in a boulbus swollen area. might be helpful. The trichome definition could be expounded as well.


edit:
Oh and parthenocarpic still means seedless, so why did it revert back to what it says now?

Anyone know where this glossary is? I've done a search on "glossary" & cannot find one.

Could 'pheno' be added? I've heard it used plenty, but still don't know what it is.
