Trichomes are the resin producing THC glands on the female plant. They come in several varieties....cysolith....bulbous....stalked...capi tate-stalked. The capitate-stalked glands are the major THC producers and they coat the buds profusely. You can view these glands using a 30x magnifying-viewer,..available at Radio Shack.When the glands start to turn milky white to amber then the THC is beginning to degrade after peaking...try to harvest later for heavier feeling stone.
Sage of Bud Reviewed by Sage of Bud on . 52 day flower cycle, still not ripe Guys, great to be back on here, im on my second grow and a little worried. Im growing 4 sweet dreams plants in a home made grow box. Im using a 250 hps light system and plants are in soil. Today is the 52nd day in a 52 flower cycle and at the moment all the pistels are still white...... The buds them selves ar huge and very smelly and when i squeeze them the resin does be on my fingers. I have done every thing the same this time round that i did with my first plant (same sweet dreams) With this Rating: 5
