// Definition
The bulbous resin glands on cannabis flowers that contain the plant's cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids. These microscopic structures are the target of all hashmaking processes and are where the medicinal and psychoactive compounds reside.
// From the Episode
Bubbleman describes trichome heads as where all the medicine lies, saying he prefers to focus on the glandular trichome head rather than the cannabis leaf as a symbol. In Episode 006, he discusses how trichome head size varies between indica and sativa plants, affecting which micron bags capture the most yield. Johnny B's 99-day Medi Kush experiment showed abnormally large, swollen trichome heads with shifted yields across bag sizes.
