What are Trichomes? Trichome 101

[littlelil]

The pics are beautiful. I never would have thought they would be so beautiful. Mine have just gone on 12 & 12 and I am anxious to see their growth.
What strain are the purple ones?
Very nice.

That's the idea. We all learn from every grow, big or small. If you happen to run into trouble, there will be an army of help to keep everything going smooth. I've found that all the friends you make along the way is the real reward of having a Journal. Go to it my friend.

To be honest my journal helps me keep track of watering, her age etc.
Without a journal it's all guessing.
Other people's journals have helped me with many questions,
as well as stopped me making many mistakes.
You seem to know what you are doing. I'm sure many would benefit from
your knowledge.
Which is the best reason for starting a journal. Teach /Learn
Good luck with clones bro...

Thank you for all the info, this is great and just what the doctor ordered!!!! I am at 53 days flowering and read this article every few days to ensure I'm on the right track and it's amazing watching the changes happen just as this article states.
Aprentice I have to agree with you, I use my grow journal as a growing calendar to keep track of my progress and schedules, it beats keeping a paper calendar.

That is old thinking, from before cheap 60x magnifiers were available at Radio Shack. Why make a guess when you can actually look and see the ripeness of the resin glands (trichomes).
