oh fuck it, here's my explanation, prob bullshit, but may not tbe too far from the truth......lol

i think the black bits are resin........

when the plant gets to peak potency, it makes the pistols turn slightly amber then kinda brown, then they retract into the false seed pots, which have filled up with resin due not getting pollinated hence sensimilla weed, or seedless weed......... good weed, and harvested at the right time........but these pods look more like poddy weed if you know what i mean, NL is a poddy weed....., but if the weed was pressed (generally for transportation of large amouts), then it's possible that the resin was "squeezed" out of the pods..........so when resin dries, it goes hard........and i imagine, it would look kinda like that..............

well, it's a theory anyway.........lol........Peace out...........Sid
