Key Features of Trichome Stages
- Vegetative Stage: Trichomes are small and sparse, focusing on growth and development.
- Pre-Flowering Stage: Trichome production begins to increase, but the concentration of cannabinoids is low.
- Flowering Stage: Trichomes become more prominent and contain higher concentrations of cannabinoids.
- Peak Stage: Trichomes reach their maximum size and contain the highest levels of cannabinoids.
- Maturation Stage: Trichomes start to lose their potency as the plant ages.
How Do Trichomes Affect CBD Production?
Trichomes are the primary source of CBD in cannabis plants. The size, shape, and color of trichomes can indicate the potential CBD content of the plant. Larger, milky white trichomes typically indicate higher CBD levels.
