yeah, the suspense is something itself. Sometimes when i look at how much she's grown it's almost a bummer to have to chop her down.

yhea but also you could leave nothing but main stem & it would grow again.

I've done some reading and need some clarification on a few things regarding trichomes.

On the lower branches, i have the normal looking trichomes which some are becoming milky.

Along with those normal looking trichomes are non-glandular trichomes--without the head.

In the middle of the main cola are a small amounts of normal looking trichomes with mostly non-glandular.

The top of the cola only has non-non-glandualr tri.

Questions i have:

1. Since the lower branches have some milky trichomes and non-glandualr trichomes, do the non-glandular trichomes develop the bulb over time and catch up? or does it remain a non-glandular/bulbless trichome?

2. If the lower parts of the plant matures first, am i able to harvest from the bottom up? i only read of people doing the opposite top to bottom.

3. How often do i need to check the trichome development? if strain dependant is there a given range for indicas, indica/sativa, sativa strains? i've read that the harvest window varies so i assume checking trichome should vary.

Another thing i read about was when do you consider the start of flowering period. Some say when 12/12 is initiated and others say when flowers show. So, in regards to my Citral, if it is according to 12/12 she is over 10 weeks into flowering period plus another week for the pest problem i encountered. if it is in regards to showing flowers, she is almost eight weeks--if i remember correctly.

there are actually several types of tricomes some of which never develop a head...and are probably not even involved in cannabinoid synthesis, some of them look like simitars sp? those curved swords

somewhere I have a great post on tric types and development I will find it and post it here

scott06 · 09-25-2008, 06:30 PM

Is your top cola too close to heat from the light? it could be effected by that

anyway I found the post on trics and the relationship to cannabiniods.

caution it is a long heavy read but seems like a botanist took some time with this look at tricomes and after a few reads I really felt like I learned some new stuff

sorry I should have done this in one post

2. If the lower parts of the plant matures first, am i able to harvest from the bottom up? i only read of people doing the opposite top to bottom.

others have reported this phenomenon on this site and harvested from the bottom up with good result
3. How often do i need to check the trichome development? if strain dependant is there a given range for indicas, indica/sativa, sativa strains? i've read that the harvest window varies so i assume checking trichome should vary.
check as often as you can, even daily once you start seeing any cloudy trics...depending on strain and conditions they can develop fast or slow - never go by a recommendation when you can see for yourself!
