so when should there be crystals?

[stewie420]

my plant is over 6.5 weeks into flowering, i looked at
it with a 60x microscope last night and there are hardly
anything that looks like crystals or trichs... no golf ball
heads... nothing sticky...

i thought i was gonna be flushing her soon getting ready
for harvest... will they come on in this last week and
a half or so? or am i looking at another few weeks of
flowering???

there are pictures in my thread about
"so why does my plant smell like..." thread...

thanks.

Well bro, there should have been trichs on it by the 3rd week of flower. The number of trichs and the size determine, in part, how much THC the plant can contain.

The lack of trichs may indicate a very very weak strain.

I tired to look at your pics close up but the pics suck for that part pretty much.

Close ups of the buds may help.....I suppose the THC can be there without the trichs....maybe deep in the flower pods lay the resin glands....

I dont know...but post some clear close ups
