Vaportrol®️ vs. Traditional Drying: Impact on Trichome Integrity & Cannabis Quality
Trichomes are external, delicate structures on the cannabis flower which produce secondary metabolites. They arise from a series of anticlinal and periclinal divisions of epidermal cells to form globular and non-glandular appendages which protect the leaf from UV, water loss, and insect or animal destruction. Though many compounds are produced in this structure, the ones most valued in the cannabis industry are terpenes and cannabinoids.
