Drying question

So I cut and hung a few popcorn buds from underneath. I hung them in my grow space so they were drying under 12/12 conditions. They dried nicely. I also noticed that the trichomes doubled from what they were when I hung. Is this possible or am I seeing things?

Never mind. I'm an ass. Did a little reading and answered my own question.

Yep, your were seeing things....
