A good day at the Cannabis Health Summit. Another big day tomorrow starting at 12 noon, PST. Sometime next week they'll have the summit formatted sometime next week and I can start getting better notes.

Whe it was over I was wandering through the tabs I've had open on this iPad, trying to do some digital housekeeping, and came across one I was reading from Steep Hill Labs on trichomes. I found this interesting.

YELLOW TRICHOMES: A very common belief is that yellow colored trichomes are a sign that the cannabis flower is old and that the trichomes are decomposing into unwanted material, such as CBN. This is a common misconception that is not necessarily true.
Firstly, not all cannabinoids are colorless. One of the most brightly yellow-colored cannabinoids is CBD, a VERY valuable cannabinoid. For example, when observing Harlequin strains under a microscope (regardless of how immature or old the flowers are), the yellow coloration of high CBD containing trichomes is immediately apparent, the flowers having a very different look than those of a classic high THC-A strain. Trichome head size is also usually smaller, and many CBD trichomes are sessile, meaning the trichomes are stalkless, the heads forming on the surface of the petals of the flower.
