Tiny, hair-like structures that form on the surface of cannabis leaves, stems, and flowers. They serve as protective features and are responsible for producing and storing the plant’s cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. Trichomes come in several types, with glandular trichomes being the primary producers of resin and cannabinoids, while non-glandular trichomes offer structural protection without significant resin production.
