My friend got a 60-100x microscope from Radio Shack and we were looking today at one of the VERY OLDEST flowers, one of the primordial ones, and there were only a few capitate-sessile trichomes, no stalked trichs, and LOTS of the hair-type trichs (They look like rose thorns). Anyway, the few capitate trichomes we saw, most were clear, we saw one cloudy, and two or three amber/brown ones.. So we're curious: Is it from not having enough light? For anyone that doesn't remember, they are under ~76w of CFL, and have been flowering for close to ten weeks. Could it be from the fact that nutes were stopped weeks ago thinking harvest was really soon (About 1/3rd of the pistils were red)? Or is it most likely just bad genetics? (Bagseed) Or does my friend just need to increase the dark period (16 hours right now, and new flowers keep appearing)
