![]() Before trying to make the best possible hash (whithin our means) we should have a couple of things clear. We have seen the different types of trichomes, their dimensions and main features. This is why these trichomes are the most suitable ones to make top grade hashish. It is the only type of trichomes that has a layer of cells between the gland and the stalk these cells can be broken, detaching the head from the stalk. They are called like this precisely for the height of their stalk (150-500 microns). The average size of their heads is slightly larger than sessile's, and are the main producers of cannabinoids and terpenes. This type is the most common in buds and leafs of cannabis plants (they are only formed during the flowering stage of plants). The secretory gland is often formed by 8-16 cells.Īlso called Glandular Trichomes. When the plant is not ripe it may seem that these trichomes have no stalk (it only has the height of a cell). This type of trichomes is much more abundant than bulbous ones. As the plant ripens, these trichomes may form a sort of nipple due to the accumulation of resin inside it. Both the stalk and the head are formed by 1-4 cells. The gland is about 20 microns in diameter. These are the smallest ones, measuring from 25 to 30 microns in height. Let's make a brief description of each of them.Ĭannabis trichomes Types of trichomes in cannabis plants The three types of trichomes found have several features in common they have a gland where cannabinoids and terpenes are segregated, a group of cells that attach the gland to the stalk, and the stalk itself, which joins the gland to the plant tissue. ![]() As the plant ripens, trichomes segregate higher amounts of cannabinoids and terpenes. ![]() The first thing we should know before trying to make the best possible dry sieved trichome separation is what types of trichomes we can find. Dry sift or kief is the result of mechanically removing the resin glands from the plant by sieving them with screens of different sizes, without any kind of solvent.
