Where do resin glands form?
This infographic provides an overview, focusing on
bud colas, bud closeups, trichomes, and trichome closeups.
It emphasizes the role of these structures in
resin production, plant potency, and cannabinoid content.
1 Bud Cola
- Overview: This section explains that the bud cola contains clusters of smaller flower buds that
grow tightly together. - Key Points:
– Almost all resin glands form on flower buds.
– A plant can have multiple bud colas depending on growth.
– Flowering time and resin production typically take 8-12 weeks, depending on the
variety.
3 Trichomes
- Overview: This section discusses the role of trichomes in the plant’s potency.
- Key Points:
– Trichomes are responsible for a plant’s potency.
– They appear as droplets on the bud surface.
– Potency increases as the plant matures.
– Various factors influence the rate at which resin glands mature and their resulting
potency.
– Factors such as stress, light, and water impact potency potential.
2 Bud Closeup
- Overview: This section provides a closer look at the buds, highlighting their role in resin
production. - Key Points:
– Buds act as vessels for resin production.
– Resin glands are connected to stalks and fastened to colas/buds.
– Resin glands are the main part of a trichome.
– Hairs coming from buds signal healthy bud growth and resin formation.
4 Trichome Closeup
- Overview: This section focuses on the trichomes and their content.
• Key Points:
– The contents of the trichomes help determine end use.
– Resin glands contain most of the plant’s aroma and flavors.
– Trichomes contain 70-80% cannabinoids (THC, CBD, CBG, etc.), 10-15% terpenes (flavor,
aroma), and 5-8% flavonoids (color, taste).
– What is extracted from the plant when making concentrates or extracts comes from the
trichomes.
