Afaik the trichomes are a natural shield/reflector against radiation. The plant comes originally from the Nepal/Hindukush area. Means, she had to fight the radiation of the sun for propably millions of years. In my opinion it is some kind of a natural evolutionary developed shield against UV and other to biological lifeforms hazardous radiations (be it from the ultra short or ultra long spectrum of light). Well, that is at least what i got from reading deep into it back in the days. I was already growing in the 90s, and i remember that we already had studies from scientists floating around at that time. Cant remember specific names, but i definitely know that science researched that already 20-30 years ago. If i remember an article or scientific paper about it, then ofc i will add it here as comment.
Amazing video! I really appreciate you breaking down the structures so thoroughly. You mentioned the enzymes in the trichomes that manufacture terpenes and cannabinoids, and I was wondering you knew any papers or research that went into detail about that? How plants manufacture chemicals like these has been fascinating to me for awhile, and I hope to do research on it in the near future. Thank you again!

Hi Carl - yes I have not looked at outdoor flowers to see the trichomes. They could look quite different, being exposed to different environmental stresses.

Tremendous and interesting exploration, as a grower I have always been impressed by the cannabis plant and how intelligent its whole structure is, of course all plants have amazing systems, but cannabis has that special susbstance, I have taken very good pictures of the trichomes when the plants are in the sun and these trichomes in the telescope look great, from now on I will follow the channel because I got very good information from this video.

What are trichomes produced for? what is their function for the plant? What environmental factors influence growth/production? Are they to deter or attract ?
I propose knocking down the shittiest building in every square mile and using that space for a community cannabis garden. Imagine the harvest party every 90 days. Society's problems solved. You're welcome.
The washing your finished product I see a lot of people washing buds now will destroy your tricone heads? It does take away from the potency does it not and other
In regards to trichromes production at higher values on the underside of leaf. I feel embarrassed to ask. Have filters for top side production been ruled out? Has gravitational force as an aid to less energy expense for manufacture and production been ruled out? Are these variables under study in weightless environments? Is there a memory inhibitor as a variable? Thanks for the presentation. Great job!
its probably hormonal related. gravity causes the hormone responsible for trichome production to concentrate below. this is a well know mechanism in many other plants.
Hi David. There are fewer trichomes on the upper surface due to drier conditions and more exposure to UV stress. More develop on the underside but that may not be the only difference.
The biological purpose of the trichomes are to protect the plant from UV radiation and to deter pests. We can probably rule out UV radiation on the underside of a leaf, so pest deterrence makes sense. For outdoor cultivators, it has become somewhat popular to wash buds post harvest because of how good trichomes are at trapping bugs, dirt, dust, etc.
Frustrating how inaccurate you identify different Trichomes. 7 types are likely to be observed on cannabis. Your main focus was on standing captate Trichomes. And inaccurately called 3 types by that name. Also Trichomes are not exclusive to cannabis
I Would I like to see as a agronomist and horticulturist that some of hybrids be used in the landscape industry. Of course without the THC . But still provide the colors and fragrance. Unlike flowers and other flowering plants, cannabis holds its fragrance for almost the life of the plant . Something to think about
no it doesnt. it doesnt even smell until near the end, when the terpene profile changes daily and weekly. Why no THC? As a "horticulturist" LOL you should know, that it is the SAME SPECIES Cannabis sativa, ie NO HYBRIDS genetically. all of you fake scientists on here trying to look intelligent because you are pseudointellectuals w barely above average IQs...and know it. No one cares what you want to see either FYI...
3:40 no that is wrong. You do not just dry the flowers, I mean inflorescence. After you dry them it will still smell & taste like Chlorophyll. Which is why Curing the dried buds is super important. You don't wanna smoke some weed that tastes like grass.

The best sign of when to harvest that I’ve found is when over half,or the majority, of the trichomes develop a bulbous head and turn amber/darken in color. Imo it’s the most effective anyway
But WHY does a cannabis plant produce THC, CBD & terpenes? What is the benefit to the plant after such an expenditure of energy to produce these substances?
I dont know why cannabinoids and terpenes are like that specificly, but afaik the trichomes of the plant are some kind of natural evolutionary developed shield/reflector against the suns radiation. The plant comes originally from the Nepal/Hindukush area. Means, she had to fight the radiation of the sun for propably millions of years. In my opinion it is some kind of a natural evolutionary developed shield against UV and other to biological lifeforms hazardous radiations (be it from the ultra short or ultra long spectrum of light). As grower of the 90s, i remember that we already had studies about that from scientists floating around back then.
Makes sense to me that there'd be more trichomes under than on top. Cannabanoids are partly pest replenents, as I understood it. And most pests will move from lower on the plant to higher.
super cool! This makes me wonder how far we are away from some visual sensor that can tell us the moment at which the plant is fully developed and ready to harvest. That is the hardest part about being a home grower. Im never really sure if I am harvesting at the right time. Thank you for the presentation
Three basic stages of development based on visual cues: clear glandular heads means early in development, resulting in higher precursor compounds, milky are typically desired developmental stages for harvest in recreational application and denote a wider range of cannabinoid availability, and finally amber colored glandular heads will denote partial degradation of primary cannabinoids into things like CBN, which impart heavier affects commonly associated with extreme-case medicinal uses, such as alleviating cancer patient suffering or combatting insomnia. On second thought, a mix of amber and milky glandular heads are probably most ideal for extreme case medicinal use, as CBG is recommended for aiding symptoms associated with glaucoma, thca and D9thc are found to be anti-fungal/antibacterial and CBD is, in conjunction with THC compounds, considered beneficial for their anti-inflammatory and cancer-fighting potential. This is a generalization and, by far, not the entirety of the subject knowledge/application potential, but I wanted to be brief for simplicity's sake. The "hairs" or more accurately, stigmas, will turn orange as the virility of the female components degrade and aren't necessarily correlated with trichome development, in that they won't tell you about cannabinoid development as accurately as glandular head coloration will (to the best of my knowledge).
Joshua, experiment by clipping off a couple buds at timed intervals, carefully drying/curing the buds, keeping track of what each buds trichomes looked like when you clipped them. You can then compare clear, milky, and amber.
You use the term ‘resin’ and talk about senescence but don’t elaborate. Do the cannabinoids degrade? Is ‘resin exudate’ as potent in cannabinoids as a mature trichome? Does the balance of THC and CBD change during this time? Thanks, fun presentation.
you are asking complicated questions but dont know the basics? Why are americans so incredibly stupid. Oh I know: learned helplessness as part of the propaganda educational system. cannabinoid development and degradation info is extremely basic and posted ALL OVER THE INTERNET
Why don't they shake the resin off? I know it's sometimes laborious but it's gorgeous! This plant is so soooo helpful for humanity! It's seriously the most beautiful thing in the world!
Wonderful work!! Regarding the bulbous trichomes, is it possible that they are immature versions of the stalked trichomes that you are studying, or possibly the production of the stalk itself was aborted leaving only the head?
Hi Devon. The bulbous trichomes are a different type altogether. They are not immature forms of the larger glandular types. We are still not sure what they do.
I was already pretty familiar with the structure with glandular trichome head and the capitate stalk. These images are absolutely amazing though. It really gives me an amazing real life window into what these structures look like up super close. Also shows me the reason why that no matter how well you isolate the heads, the resulting hash will never quite melt down to no solid residue. Even with perfectly isolated heads, you still have those stipe cells and secretory cells on the underside that are not going to be melty. Even if you find a crazy mutation where those cells are super small, I'm guessing they'll still take up at least 10% of structure of the head. Which is why you can never get 100% melty product unless you blast it with butane or some other hydrocarbon, or press rosin out of it, to sort out the non-melty bits.
Can you please tell me, has any scientist ever actually seen a virus? I'm dying to know. Also, has anyone ever seen a double-helix, twisted, DNA molecule?
There is a story from the Dogon tribe that says cannabis was a gift to the earth from beings that are from the Canis star system. And looking at this beautiful SEM pictures of the Trichomes it's easy to believe! .. it's worth remembering that that Tribe were able to describe star systems and constellations a looooong time before humans knew about them. Makes you wonder where they got that info. 🤔
Space panda outdoors got the chop yesterday... What a plant! Amazing trichomes and fruity skunky smell... Drying now... Thanks for sharing your atlas grow!
Growers share information and I believe they generally agree that clear trichs aren't mature enough. Milky trichs with about 5-10% Amber is a good time to harvest. If you wait until they're mostly or all amber you have missed the boat.

Why are they called trichomes, when the images show four channels feed into them from the stalk…how about quadchomes?
The word “trichome” comes from the Greek word for “growth of hair,” but it is defined today as the delicate appendages on plants, algae and lichens.
