Stalked Capitate Glandular Trichomes:
These trichomes are the most abundant and contain the desired cannabinoids, terpenoids and flavonoids! As flowers near ripeness, their caps fill with resin and the trichomes become more prominent and stand erect.
The viscous, sticky liquid that accumulates contains terpenes and cannabinoids, which are produced on the inside membrane of the trichome cap. As the resin accumulates in the cap, the flower odor becomes more intense and the heads turn from clear to cloudy. Cloudy trichomes occur prior to harvest and indicates that cannabinoid levels have reach their maximum.
