Everyone talks about trichomes and their maturity, but i never really see any sceince behind it... it's just "yea man, like they change from clear to milky to amber". There's also the "amber is THC that is loosing potency" argument, where as i thought that it was a molecular change in the THC compound forming a new compund called CBD (the body high).
Well here it is people, i've found a site that breaks this shit down to the nitty nitty gritty haha. I'm talking this shit even shows a microscopic complex of the trichome and even shows you the basis of it's actual components, showing where the endoplasmic reticulum stops and where the secretory gland starts (the area where THC starts forming in the trichome head). If you like sceince, this is your page. And even if you just want a better understanding of what's going on with your trichome maturity when thinking about harvest time. Check it out, you might lear something... or like 20 things.
