Anatomy of Cannabis: Difference between revisions

 
==== Trichromes ====
Trichomes are resin -filled glands that appear on the sugar leaves and buds of Cannabis in the flowering stage. They contain THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids. They first appear on the plant as a translucent colour but slowly turn milky white as the plant matures. The opacity indicates the amount of THC in the trichrome. As flowering continues the milky white colour turns to amber as the THC converts into CBD.
 
==== Terpenes ====
Organic compounds found in the highest concentration in buds that create the taste and aroma of Cannabis.
 
==Stigma==
Hair-like structures that emerge from the bud often (confusingly) referred to as Pistils. This is most likely because stigma possessing female plants are referred to as pistillate, which then became short-hand.
The colouration of the stigma can provide some insight into the maturity of the plant, as the plant matures the stigma turn from white to orange.
