Sticky Flowers
Sticky flowers refers to cannabis inflorescences with visibly elevated resin production, characterized by a wet or tacky appearance on bracts and trichomes. This trait results from abundant trichome density and resin gland maturation, commonly observed across diverse genetic backgrounds. Sticky flower phenotypes are frequently associated with robust terpene profiles and concentrated secondary metabolite expression. The term describes a physical characteristic rather than a specific genetic marker, appearing across sativa, indica, and hybrid lineages. Breeders often select for sticky flower traits when developing lines intended for fresh consumption or traditional extraction methods.

Breeders working with sticky flower phenotypes typically prioritize trichome morphology and resin gland expression during selection. This trait serves as a visual indicator for metabolite density and is commonly used as a phenotype marker in breeding programs targeting specific cannabinoid or terpene profiles.
