Why also non-glandural type of trichomes on Cannabis?

Awesome photos CVH, cheers for gathering them all into one thread too. I always question my Trichome reading skills around harvest time, but this collection really shows the differences between the clear, cloudy, and amber. Such a beautiful plant.

Hi folks
are visible trichomes on stamen a indicator for a resinouse male? On the outside of the male flowers i can see trichs through the microscope but on the stamen with my eyes.

Glandular trichs purpose is to attract microbes. Ontthe internet you hell tell you it's sunscreen or some shit.

Defensive trichs purpose is to identify the malevolent alien spies who can't touch pot with sneezing. The internet wil probably tell you it's for bug defense or some ting.

^Yeah, you're right, it's like nuts. It's also a dual purpose word.
