I thought thats why you were saying it, but ive seen some differing speculation. This was posted by (i know, i know) high times:You are exactly correct. They almost always have way smaller heads. And stalks contain zero cannabinoids or terpenes. Not to mention stalks make your herb taste milky, creamy, or chalky. Bleh
The essential oils, including THC, mostly accumulate on the outer layer of the gland head, but also on the outer layer of the epidermal cells that cover the entire bract, or any trichome-dense area. Resinous THC also accumulates in the fibrillar matrices (pardon the jargon) of the secretory vesicles. Inside these vesicles there is some THC, but also high amounts of terpenoids, which are less viscous.
