Somehow I can't help thinking that the trichomes can be a good tool for determining important stages and development of the plants flowering stage. Don't really know what it is I am searching out but there must be a significance. I have one plant just dripping with trichomes another two of a different strain forming trichs rapidly and three others with the largest of buds with barely any trichomes at all. All started at the same time, same lighting (2-1000watt hps)all veg'd for 5 weeks under 400 watt MH. Three part GH nutes. I know different strains different length flowering stage but why are some almost completely without trichomes while others are covered with them? Even with a 2 or 3 week difference in strains it seems they should all have a good development of trichomes it would seem, by now?

Can you flush just using ph corrected water or is a flushing solution necessary to flush before harvest?

Don't mean to be repetative people but something tells me theres something there I need to learn and understand better. If I'm beating a dead horse just shoot me lol thanks

Peace
