TRICHOMES QUESTION , SOMEONE??

how can I have a good strain seed be 6+ weeks into flower with good size buds on the plant and not have trichomes anywhere but the pistils and few on them??? Especially when the rest of the plants have trichomes and they are all growing under the same lighting temps nutes and same overall conditions?? could the trichomes form in the time left and increase dramatically just in a couple weeks left??

what can be done to increase thc in plants? nutes? what is the main factors for the production of thc?

thanks guys for the input not that its not good info cause I am learning , I am just a lil slow :D

read a post elsewhere where the guy had plants from a good seed source that just never produced trichomes . experienced grower , drove him crazy trying to figure it out . good strain gone belly up

Yes, there are simply some duds in the world of good strains.

Running MH bulbs in conjunction with HPS can help increase THC production but not if there arent any trichs to hold the THC.

Cunt was really nice but wasnt loaded with THC like Whore was. Good...but better for hash oil than smoking for my tastes.

You might...as a last deperate attempt...subject her to drought like conditions where she wavers constantly between wilt and life with her moisture level.

Do not allow her to be fully watered. She should actually go limp then given just enuff water and checked in 10 minutes for recovery....then again the same routine.

This is a very time consuming and dangerous game to play....but it may be your only hope. When putting to sleep at night...give just a little bit of water to keep her alive for 12 hours...but start the cycle again in the morning....

You have to ride the thin life line.........

What ever you choose, good luck :)

mIGHT HAVE TO GIVE THAT A TRY HARDON , MAKES SENSE. THATS WHY I WAS TRYING to get a time line on trichome development to determine if the plant was a dud or just not far enough along because I have 5 different strains on same grow some mioght finish sooner. I know what trichomes are and where to find them , I have read through numerous items of information on them but find no reference to any time line . I know thar it varies with strain buit so does overall life of plants but still you can find reference to approximate days a plant may take to harvest then why not approximate days till trichomes. how many days does it take for the trichomes to fill appoximately :eek:

well I have over done the subject already but if anyone can find any reference to a trichome timeline I am interested.

thanks guys
