Purple Stalked Trichomes!?!?

[jon420]

Looked this up and found some interesting stuff but nothing seemed too solid. Can anyone explain the purple in the stalks of the trichomes??? None have turned amber and the cloudiness is getting thicker. Could the purple be what causes the amber color when it reaches the head of the trichome???

Thanks:smokin:

Um, no.
The amber is caused by age and UV exposure.

The purple trichs are probably a genetic trait.
Just like red pistils;

Thanks a lot:thumbsup:

Temp only drops a max of 14degrees and that is 60degrees when it does drop.:smokin:

"Nose"???

"Nose"???

If I am not mistaken I believe Weez is referring to the scent that plant is giving off ...

[Weezard]

Sorry, it's a vintners term.

Yes, can you describe the scent?
Or, does it differ from the other cuttings?

Aloha
And Mahalo Lynhal.

Mahalo Weez, and you are so on the money, "Da nose knows, ya know?"

When new growers are growing I don't think they have the experience to know a lemon scent, a skunk scent, a fruity scent or a putrid rotting flesh scent amongst so many others that certain strains can produce.

I had one plant that smelled so putrid after curing that I couldn't leave the jar with the lid off without feeling somewhat nauseated. But to smoke those precious buds was a real pleasure. Go figure ... :S2:
