Trichomes

The trichomes are what make the flowers sparkle with its cannabinoid & terpene rich resin. The resin is secreted through trichomes (mushroom-shaped glands) on leaves, stems, and throughout the plant. Trichomes are technically meant to be used as a defense mechanism against predators, giving the cannabis plant an evolutionary advantage.
