Yes, trichomes are going to become more brittle then break off. Trichomes break off all the time on cannabis. When you cure cannabis, you often have to shake up your buds to keep them from compacting to get a proper cure; the trichomes will break off when you do this.
The point is, yes, trichomes lossed = potency lossed. But this entire notion that trichomes falling off "drastically" "noticeably" "devastatingly" is just a garbage myth. The real reason you probably lost potency was because you stored it improperly, ie exposed it to too much light and oxygen.
That is literally all it comes down to, to get an actual potency loss that you could notice. Otherwise, I'm sure its just paranoia.
The biggest thing is this: if you freeze your cannabis in a proper jar, and keep it in the dark without lots of oxygen, its going to be more potent than if you let it degrade over time. Cannabis left in a jar for a year will be less potent that cannabis left in a jar IN A FREEZER for a year, because the cold temps slow down the degradation process.
Time kills cannabis, its an inescapable fact.
