thanks for the tip. I'm gonna buy a magnifying glass tomorrow, or a small microscope, so I'll check it out. But what I mean is, how big are the buds normally? On some pictures it looks like the hairs are realllly long and that they grow out from a BIG ball, not the small ones I got. So any inputs on that would be great.. I'm worried since they are so small you know, and what I've also noticed is that the hairs are shorter now that they've turned red.

Where's the THC actually located? Is it that crystal stuff (trichomes) on the outside, or is the THC inside the bud? or maybe both? From what I've read I believe the small balls will fill up with resin, does that mean inside the balls or on the outside?

T.I.A. Sorry for the stupid questions, but I'm having problems finding answers to this on the net so I have to ask.
Valiante Reviewed by Valiante on . New grower needs help on buds Hi! 1 of all, what exactly is the bud? I guess it's theese waterdrop shaped balls with hairs growing outta it, or am i wrong? How big are they really supposed to be? Looking at pictures on the net really confuses me. Most are close-ups with no referance so it's impossible to see the real size. On some pictures it looks like the hairs are 5 cm long and thick as a pen. Anybody got some good pictures illustrating what the bud should look like? Or maybe some drawings? I picked one off my Rating: 5
