Resin Gland Placement
Resin gland placement refers to the distribution pattern of trichomes—crystalline structures containing cannabinoids and terpenes—across different plant tissues. Breeders classify strains by whether glands concentrate on flowers, leaves, stems, or distribute evenly throughout. Placement patterns are heritable traits influenced by both genetics and growing conditions, making them useful markers in breeding programs. Understanding gland distribution helps breeders select for desired phenotypes and informs cultivation decisions. This trait family intersects with cannabinoid profile, yield characteristics, and extraction suitability in commercial breeding work.

Breeders track resin gland placement to predict extraction efficiency, flower quality, and breeding consistency across generations. Strains bred for hash or concentrate production often show selection for dense flower gland coverage, while ornamental or breeding lines may prioritize balanced distribution patterns.
