more frost/trichomes , more potent??

I was wondering looking at the pics on net and I.G does extra frosty weed/ trichomes means that is more potent than other?? We here dont have frosty weed but it still can f you up pretty well.. So I wonder does frost make weed potent?

???

Simple enough extra frosty and more trichomes does not gaurantee it being more potant. I recently grew out a seedling that ended up being SUPER frosty, maybe more then my normal keepers. HOWEVER it also produced ZERO smell and taste(which is weird) and not an impressive high. It was definitely fully matured and I've still got a few clones of it finishing up, so we will see how this batch is. But I've planed to let it go after these clones because even though its frosty and looks dank, it is not.

Then on the flip side of that you have sativas. I've grown a few, and seen others that frankly don't have massive trichomes and crazy obvious frost(its there but the trichs are smaller). And those sativas would rock your world.

I think what is in the trichomes is far more important than how many trichs exist, and what's in them varies by strain and phenotype.

usually yeah... but lately i've found a couple strains that have almost no frost, but hit like a tank

Imho, both genetics & trichome density play a good role in the final potency & effect.

Comparing one strain to the other can make it tricky since "effect" can go different ways but one thing that always seems to stands true for me is, the more trichome density i can get out of a said strain, the stronger it will be.

no bro i can be very resinous but disgusting when smoked
usually with bad phenotypes
and if it was overfertilized (even without burnings) and/or bad flushed it can appear frosty but without terpenes..
