// Definition
During episode 152's discussion of Congo flower rosin yields, Bubbleman noted that the cultivar's resinous appearance was suspicious given the lower-than-expected rosin return, speculating that Congo may have hooked (or curved/bent stalk) trichomes. These non-standard trichome morphologies can make a plant appear extremely frosty while the actual resin head content relative to total trichome mass is lower, explaining the discrepancy between visual frost and extractable resin yield.
