I was looking at my 3 week old seedlings and I noticed what looked like PM or something on the leaves. I got the 60x loop and I was surprised to see that the leaves on these young seedlings were covered with trichomes already. I mean, a lot of them.
I didn't think plants this young developed trics so I started doing some searching and reading and I soon found out that those are, indeed trichomes and I learned why they are there at such an early age.
Since I really don't get high from pot, the taste and flavor and etc are the most important things to me. So I started reading up on the interactive part that the terpenes play in the overall growth, harvest and curing of the plant.
Some very interesting reading. It seems the terpenes work in a synergistic manner with the cannabanoids that are also in the trics (like THC). This can make the difference on how the THC is received by the receptors.
Interesting stuff. And, fairly new to me. I'll post a couple of the links that I found interesting and/or informative. Some of them are a little outdated as you'll see. Some will say they have found 120 terpenes in cannabis. Others will say over 200 and some (newer ones) will say over 300. And, after reading about 10 of them, they get pretty repetitive.
