My bagseed plant I used for dialing in my new tent has been in flower for 6 weeks and is showing absolutely no trichome production. It's planted in dirt, and I've been using CNS nutes that came with my set-up. I FIM'd the plant early on, and have three main buds with lots of little buds in the body of the plant. The colas are filling in nicely, but still no sugar.....



Bud tops with no sugar:






PPP bud at 4 weeks flowering in the same tent:


The PPP's have been in flower for 4 weeks, and they are getting nice and sticky.

Is this difference genetic? I know sativas take longer in flower than indicas, but shouldn't I be seeing some trichome production on the sativas by the 6th week of flower?

Particulars of the grow are in my journal below.

Thanks for taking a look!

yea dude genetics are gonna determine how frosty they are if they are in the exact conditions as the ppp then thats what it has to be. or you deviated in an aspect of the entire process and might not know it. although i doubt it. sativas hmmmmm...... the last 2 weeks you will see major fattesning and resin production, so be patient you may get a burst of trichs soon. hang in there man, at least your yeild will be awesome and if you arnt happy with the quality....sell it. make some $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I was hoping for this answer. The PPP's are in hydro, and the bagseed is in an old flower pot my wife threw a seed into. I thought that having the bagseed plant in flower two weeks before the PPPs would give me a plant to practice my trimming techniques before the good stuff was ready. Unfortunately, I've read where some sativas take upwards of 12 weeks in flower. I'm crossing my fingers for the burst of trichs!

I'm only growing for personal use, and will not be selling any of my grow, but if the bagseed doesn't get sticky it might make a nice Christmas gift for my less than good friends.

+Rep for the help!

Damn, that plant is nearly all bud and no leaf.

I take the plant out of the tent every morning when I check the rez levels. I clip dead leaves, and tuck the larger fan leaves under the smaller buds. Over the weeks, the buds have gotten thicker, and the fan leaves have started to fall off. Although there are lots of buds, they aren't really tight, and they have NO sugar either.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have you notice any sugar? it looks like its still got some time considering the hairs havent realy started browning yet. hopefully the trichs will come...

the same thing happened to me last grow. I had some sativa bag seed as well and it looked just like yours. In the end there was almost no thc and the high was super weak. So i just made sum butter and it turned out to be really frickin strong. I used about 2 to 3 ounces of the schwag bud to a stick of butter and made that in to a batch of blondies that had you passing out within an hour of ingestion.

Thanks for checking back in. I did notice some very small, fine hairs on some of the leaves this morning. I think I've got a 12 week flowering sativa on my hands....

The PPP is doing fine, and I should have some good smoke in a few weeks. I was mostly growing the bagseed for testing my set-up anyways.

Dude, that is a spooky avatar.......

Thanks for the reply. I've got bubble bags for trim, but I don't think they will work if there's no trichomes on the plant.

Do you have a good recipe you can share?
