Trichomes? Harvest?

[green leaf]

I am totally new to growing. This is my first year. What are trichomes, where do I look, and what do they have to do with harvest?

trichromes are the crystals you will see on your bud- they will shine like sugar crystals when the sun hits them- with a magnifing glass they will look like little golf tees- there are plenty of trichrome and harvest facts in the FAQ section- good luck and be patient- patience will pay off
