scientific glossaryGlandular Phase (X30)Origin: Yolia Secure Educational CatalogExact route: /library?path=glossary/x30_glandular_phase COMPLETE THEMEGlandular Phase (X30) easy explanation It is the “clock” that tells Yolia at what stage of development the trichomes (the structures that produce resin) of your plant are: if they are not yet formed, if they are already producing, or if they are past their prime. Medium explanation Classifies the glandular phase as presecretory, secretory or postsecretory. Several other X30 tools only activate if the phase is secretory, because before or after that point it makes no sense to suggest anything related to resin production. Advanced explanation Determines PRESECRETORY / SECRETORY / POSTSECRETORY / UNKNOWN based on the glandular phase data available in the file. It is the first filter in the X30 pipeline — later tools (e.g. Controlled Elicitation) require a confirmed SECRETORY phase before continuing.
