Calyx composition?

[phytokind]

So I'm wondering about calyxes. When they say that they fill with resin when they swell, does this really mean that they are full or resin? And am I correct to assume that the calyxes are the heaviest part of the plant?

I think that's a figure of speech! The resin is in the trichs, THOSE fill with resin... the calyxes are just where the seed would be if you have a male to pollinate her.

Oh, it would be cool if they were full of THC resin.

[stinkyattic]

Yeah, then you could harvest cannabis resin the same way as rubber or maple sap or opium... just scratch and watch it drip...drip...drip....

[phytokind]

That would be cool.
