no trichs on plant

[jimmie]

i have this 1 plant(bagseed) that is at least 50 days in flower it has no trichomes on what so ever what causes this and is it still worth smoking

[PartypokerPlayer]

never had this problem...zandor do you have a take on this ?

[Nochowderforyou]

Are you sure it is 50days into flowering? Or vegging maybe?

That is quite odd not to have any trichs then. I'm guessing that it is possibly a long term flowering plant. Is it sativa at all? I have heard of some sativa dom. strains taking over 100days to finish flowering. What kind of lighting are you using? Low wattage lighting, or improper lighting, during flowering will greatly slow things down. I've seen some plants take 4 weeks into flowering before they see a single pistil.

But if you have proper lighting and all, and it isn't a sativa dom. strain, then yes, that is quite odd :confused:

this plant is (bagseed) and i have 4 other plants in there FLOWERING 2 power plant and 1 black domina and 1 more bag seed they all have trichomes. my power plants are looking very good i think 2 more weeks on those btw. this 1 plant with out trichs was my 1st plant ever to go in there from bagseed this plant is 5ft tall recently i had to place a 150 hps from 250 hps (wanted to keep this over my other ladies)over this 1 here is a pic a power plant ill take better pics with my digital tomorrow my batteries were dead

The pic does no good what so ever...unfortunately.

1. Are you sure this is a female plant?

2. Also, are you looking for trichs with your neaked eyes or are you using a scope?

[Zandor]

Could be a hemp plant. The picture sucks so I'm no help. Post better pictures if you can.

i already bought the microscope from radio shack thats how i know there are no trichs. pic 1 and 2 r of the plant in question it always looked sickly. pic 3 is the rest of my garden. Also i have 2 power plants that are showing amber trichs do i wait a little longer or harvest now

[HARDDON]

Your amber trichs are past their prime THC content and are now, degrading into other cannabinoids.

If more than 25% have turned amber, you have missed the window for PRIME POTENCY harvest.

If less than 10% are amber, you are fine...but when it hits bout 20% amber...shut them down in the light for 24 - 36 hours and harvest.

Pics one and two remind me of CUnt. Huge fan leaves, light trichs..... But it is a sativa and sativas will NOT have as many trichs as in indica dom strain.....but will generally be more potent.

I say take a small flower, cure it for 2 days or dry i for 2 days and smoke it.

See what happens.

are you sure about that? ive been seeing some sativas that are so frosty it looks like a sugar truck blew up on them. where did that info come from, can you show me so i can read up on it? i am always ready to learn more about sativas.

[jimmie]

i havent seen any trichs from day 1 been watching closely all my plants were put in 12/12 roughly same time my power plants are almost done

I too have seen some.

But by and large, it is well known by many growers who grow specific strains that Indica is more likely to glisten with trichomes than sativa.

But remember the presence of trichomes only represents the POTENTIAL for THC and is not proof of the presence of THC itself.

[Zandor]

There are some strains of sativa that take 90-120 daysâ??s to flower, give it more time. Not all sativa plants show trichomes like an indicia strain does. Not know what strain you have everything is just an educated guess.

what are you feeding them? those power plants look real nice...cool
