Leaves have trichomes all by themselves at the top, its not if something fell on it or anything like that they get all frosty by themselves around the buds. Not fan leaves but mostly anything near the colas. take a peek at the link on my post at btm and you can see many leaves with goodness all over them. Overall I try not to dis any part of the great and magical mj its changed my life for the better... peace:hippy:
