Really?
That seems in conflict with the known biology…
Cannabinoid synthase enzymes are generated in the rosette of gland cells of GSTs and secreted into the extracellular cavity at the top of the trichome where terminal cannabinoid synthesis and accumulation takes place (Balcke et al., 2017; Rodziewicz et al., 2019).
I don’t think you’re looking at more cannabinoids…just more “stuff”…a trend I would characterize as following the cadabinoids (that which one can sell as dabs) rather than the cannabinoids.
size reduction does help with extraction efficiency. opening cells (eg using a whirling blade) degrades quality (brings along more unwanted). your target is extra-cellular, so opening cells is counter productive.
see eg: Multi-photon microscopic images of various types of cannabis trichomes
I’m also confused by your characterization of your biomass as “winterized” because you got it cold…I’m not convinced
