When do trichomes start appearing?

[Mac Lean]

Hey, guys!
First time growing... got an auto Vertigo that's been flowering for a couple of weeks now, but the flowers don't smell like anything and I can't see any trychomes on them.
Is this normal? When do trychomes normally start appearing?
Thanks!

Re: When do trychomes start appearing?

Usually in the later stages, you should be good.

I saw mine around week 3 on photo plants (not autos). Give it time since it might be a longer flowering strain. My buds also didn't stink until week 4 or 5 of flower

Cool, cool!

Can't wait to be enjoying the fruits of my labor!

You should have a ton of them already in veg i always see them right away

Probably a strain-dependent thing

I have a seedling that started showing when it was less than a week old...

Wow what strain is that? Mine non autos ( chocolope) show up at about week
1 of flower

It's Kush and Cheese Auto from Dinafem...

I actually posted a pic in another thread and asked about this being unusual (My first Auto grow) and nobody had any comments...

Seems amazing to me. Is your grow finished with that or still a baby?

Here she is today, she is 12 days from seed...

Look real close and you can see the trichomes on the larger leaves, tiny white specks...

Here's a couple of close ups from today....

I named her Sparkles! LOL

I bet the auto aspect of the plant has something to do with those tric's showing up so early. Looks very interesting whatever it is

Start a grow journal for sparkles please!

This is my first auto grow so Im not really sure but I would tend to agree with you on this, She started off very slow but in the last couple of day its started its upward journey. I was worried she wasn't going to grow at all, the first couple of days after it sprouted it showed very little growth except for the single first leaves, now she is coming to life!

I will see what I can do about this.

Another thing about Sparkles, when you look very close at the trichomes they appear to already be cloudy, never saw any clear ones even in the beginning.

As far as I know capitate tricomes appear roughly 2-4 weeks into flowering. There are always tricomes present on the plant even in vegetative growth (these presumably contain terpenes, the reason for the smell when you rub the leaves), but these have no stalks like the ones in flowering. If you have just started flowering I wouldn't worry that you haven't seen any trics yet. at least that is how I understand it. Hope that helps
