Trichome Dense Expression
Trichome dense expression refers to cannabis plants exhibiting unusually high concentrations of trichomes across leaf and flower surfaces. This observable trait is influenced by genetics, environmental stress, and phenotypic variation within a cultivar. Breeders often select for dense trichome production to maintain cannabinoid and terpene concentration in offspring. The term describes visual and structural density rather than a specific aroma profile, though heavily trichomed flowers may display concentrated volatile compounds. Documentation of trichome density is common in breeding records and seed descriptions, serving as a marker for cultivation potential.

Selection for trichome density is a practical breeding objective, as it correlates with resin concentration and harvest yield per unit biomass. Breeders working in this category frequently cross high-density-expression parents to stabilize the trait across generations.
