Key Features of Trichome Stages

• **Bulbous Stage:** This is the earliest stage where trichomes begin to form. They are small and translucent.
• **Blunt Stage:** Trichomes become larger and more visible, with a white, waxy appearance.
• **Spherical Stage:** Trichomes are fully developed, with a spherical shape and a milky, white color.
• **Crystal Stage:** Trichomes reach their final stage, with a transparent, crystal-like appearance. This stage indicates a high concentration of cannabinoids.

How Do Trichome Stages Affect CBD Quality?

The stage of the trichomes at harvest can significantly impact the CBD quality. The later the stage, the higher the concentration of cannabinoids. However, it's important to note that the overall quality of the cannabis plant also plays a role.
