Trichome

Trichomes are tiny, hair-like structures found on the surface of cannabis plants. These structures are rich in cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, as well as other beneficial compounds. Trichomes serve a protective function for the plant, deterring pests and potentially harmful UV rays. They also play a crucial role in the production of resin, which contains the cannabinoids and terpenes responsible for the plant's unique effects and aroma. Harvesting cannabis plants at the optimal time, when trichomes are fully developed, is important to ensure the highest quality and potency. Trichomes are highly valued by cannabis enthusiasts for their role in producing potent and flavorful cannabis products.
