Whoa! So what if it rains then?

I don’t think that would really matter as the entire plant is producing THC internally. Sort of like if it rains on Poppy fields. The opium is produced internally although it is water-soluble. I think you would have to dry the plant material before being able to dissolve the compounds in water.

My understanding that cannabanoids are on the outside of the plant on trichomes vs inside.

Right, but with this new genetically modified cannabis plant the cannabinoids are now produced internally throughout the entire plant.

I would also assume that they would no longer be produced in the trichomes as they are oily sacks without a net polar charge whereas the new cannabinoids are now polar.

Ok, makes sense. You will have to forgive me since i hav3 not watched video yet. I defiently will, this is amazing! Just imagine how cheap it woukd be to grow a field and make a lot of medicine for people who cant afford the much needed concentrated cannabis that can be very expensive.
