trichomes - before /after cure

**growone** · 08-26-2009, 03:18 PM

curing a nl#5 - my 1st inside grow
she was not a fast finisher, let her go in 12/12 for 11 weeks - even then was mostly clear, there was maybe a few percent amber
i was aiming for more head than body, so called this 'good enough'
so 2 weeks or so of cure, look over the trics again under the loop, not so clear any more, a good 50% of colored trics, many have turned a 'golden yellow', which is nice to look at
the bud is pure thunder, sampled once, vaped 1/10 gram or so and that was too much
so, does anyone check the cured trics? i don't seem to see much in the way of reports on this

i have checked mine and noticed they turn a different amber tinge, never really got yellow, maybe something close to that though

that's mighty interesting swampgrower - another data point - i've never looked over cured trics before - +rep for the info
i'll try posting some pix of these later, everyone likes good tric pic

I'd like to see your trich pics (haha). It makes sense the color may change a pic afterwards, + rep for the post/idea to ask. Will be chopping down a couple of buds today. Mine are also mostly cloudly at this point, a few amber colored heads on the trich tips. Looking forward to a pic or two. Tried with my scope and camera; couldn't get that focus right.

thanks wvoider, can really emphasize with the focus, took 100 pics today, couldn't get the stinking focus where i wanted
but tomorrow, i will get them by god, a lot of golden yellow trics - damn they are nice to look at

not sure when the 1st clear appeared exactly, this was under 12/12 for 11 weeks, 'supposed' to be 8 week, but those grower times are pretty optimistic
it ambered excruciatingly slow, watched the trics for at least a month
