Orangeman, on the subject of the buds that you said have just as many mature trichomes on them, but the pistils are mostly white, and the buds aren't together...

Well, anyway, as the bud grows, it will grow many many more trichomes, that have the chance to start over. So, even if your initial trichomes are amber, but the buds aren't finished, that really doesn't matter, because like I said, as the buds fill out, it will just frost with trichomes.

Peace,
horror business

BTW, in november, for your next grow, you said this: "This time I will know the genetics of my plants and I already know they're all females."

That confused me, as I don't know how. Are you planning on cloning your plants now, and vegging them until November? Or are you purchasing female seeds? Or did you get a hermi flower that pollinated some buds?

Either way, I'll be looking forward to checking it out in November. Hopefully by that time, I'll have a completed grow diary as well.
