I took a few decent microscope shots looking at several stages of color and other quasi-identifying indicators.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to put them here. Any help? I would certainly
it. I have been trying to get Vista to operate it. Anyway, they are in my gallery:
#10-00 shows all clear Trichomes
#10-01 80% clear to 20% milky Trichomes
#10-02 30% clear to 70% milky Trichomes
#10-03 all clear Trichomes
#10-04 red brown Pistils with clear Trichomes
I tool the Pistil shot(#10-04 to show people that this has little to do with the development of the Glandular Trichomes. The Pistils are simply "antenna" or receivers that the Male Pollen gets stuck at. This is where the conception of the next generation begins. Once they grow out (some start way early on) they change color as they dry out and die, a simple formula of age. Once a Calyx looses its' Pistils, it cannot get pollinated, so it'll only produce the resin. The white, light yellow ones are the viable ones and pollen can attach easily. These have very little to act as an indicator as to when to harvest, IMHO.
#00-00 through #00-03 re to show that one can have all ages of development of the Glandular Trichomes. I HARVEST EACH COLA WHEN IT IS READY. ONE BY ONE, THIS USUALLY LASTS 2 WEEKS AS SOME FINISH OFF LASTLY...
ALL THESE PICTURES ARE FROM THE SAME PLANT. A 16 month old mother grown Hydroponically from a cutting.
I can add more pictures here as these Calyx swell and the Colas fill in. Should be good for 1st timers to understand what the heck we talk about.
