"The "bud" that you smoke is nothin more than a mature flower.."
and the preflower you see around week 5-7 is a single flower of which it takes many to make up a bud...one of them will produce one seed if pollinated...if that helps ya picture it.

and your plant has many nodes...it's the point on a stem where a leaf is attached or has been attached
