Do Males Grow Trichomes?

[DoeEyed]

I got one of those radioshack 60x-100x mini scopes a couple weeks ago. Looking at the leaves of my plants was like looking at moonlight on new fallen snow - sparkley, very lovely! - but no trichomes. That was two (or three?) weeks ago. Now my plants are 7 weeks old, and while they have yet to show me any preflowers, they are, indeed, growing trichomes! So before I get too excited, do the males grow these too?

i wouldnt c y they would because they dont create budds so im sayin no they dont

Well I have limited experience,but a hermi would, and I thought trics were for UV and insect protection so they could I'm sure
but I wouldn't worry it.
Balls have always pretty well shown first for me, no balls no worries

Anyone else have an opinion on this?

yes they do. Depending on the strain they can have a decent amount

True, however there are other cannaboids in the plants, so I don't think it's an obvious yes.

Yes they have tricomes.

you make hash from resin/trichomes not hidden cannaboids
