The Microscopic World of Cannabis Quality

At Blended Buds Cannabis, serving Spallumcheen and Vernon, BC, we’re often asked about how to determine the quality of cannabis products. One of the most reliable indicators lies in something incredibly small yet significant: trichomes.

These microscopic structures are essential for several reasons:

What Are Trichomes?

• Crystal-like protrusions on cannabis flowers
• Natural defense mechanism for the plant
• Primary production site for cannabinoids and terpenes

Types of Trichomes

1. Bulbous – smallest variety, found across the plant surface
2. Capitate-sessile – slightly larger, more abundant
3. Capitate-stalked – largest and most important for cannabinoid production

Why Trichomes Matter

Understanding trichomes helps our customers make informed decisions about their cannabis purchases. These tiny structures indicate:

• Potency levels
• Harvest timing
• Overall product quality
• Terpene content

When shopping at Blended Buds Cannabis, you might notice our products feature detailed trichome information, helping you make the best choice for your needs. Our trained staff can explain how these microscopic features influence your experience with different strains.

Remember, healthy trichomes appear clear to milky white, eventually turning amber as the plant matures. This knowledge is crucial for understanding product quality and potency when visiting our dispensary in the Spallumcheen and Vernon area.
