Do trichomes grow back?

[ArrOgNt RocKstAR]

If a bud is squeezed, or rubbed against something while flowering, do the damaged trichomes grow back, or new ones grow in their place?

good question

Not from the same site. New ones pop up throughout growth..... But once damaged that particular site is done.
So don't do it! lol

I’ve been wondering about this…they make hand rubbed hash from immature plants, as the plants grow back they grow back more trichs….


is my two cents.

I would love to test this to see what actually happens. Maybe I can select two fingers on a sugar leaf. Take microscopic pictures. Then rub the trichomes off one of the leaf finger but not the other one. Take another microscopic picture. Then in a week or two take more pictures and see if they start up production in that area that was wiped off! If I can find time for such an experiment I will let you guys know. I have the plants and equipment. Problem is that I am watching the Olympics and running a train on my dab rig! I got some water hash interfering with my schedule!

They seriously have to consider combining weed and the olympics....

The 200m Dash to a bong hit at the finish line...

Who can make the most bubble hash out of a oz...

The long jump over a pit of nasty bong water...

Don’t forget the classic joint rolling competitions and all the variations

That would be an awesome experiment.
