BRO, THERE WAS NO ADVICE ON THAT POST AT ALL! JUST SOME FACTS THAT I HAVE READ FROM A BERKLEY UNIVERSITY STUDY, THAT STATES RESIN PRODUCTION (TRICHS) IS NOT RELATED TO POTENCY. THE LINK IS ON THIS FORUM SOMEWARE. THATS WERE I FOUND IT. ITS HELLA LONG BUT THATS THE PART I READ.
THINK ABOUT IT. YOU \CAN GET BIG BUD FULL OF CRYSTALS, OR GET WHITE WIDOW ALSO FULL OF CRYSTALS. IT DOESNT MEAN THAT THE BIG B UD IS AS STRONG AS THE WW. SORRY IF MY INPUT NOT UP TO YOUR STANDARDS THO BRO. PEACE

listen bro....go read something before giving your advice....I have to admit...it makes me laugh but it is a waste of all of our time because it is bad advice....

I have taken the liberty to copy and paste part of an article on trichs for you to educate yourself.

Disc cells, attached to leaf or bract by stipe cells & basal cells, release fibrillar wall matrix into secretory cavity where it contributes to thickening of subcuticular wall during enlargement of secretory cavity. Plastids in disc cells produce secretions called lipoplasts which synthesize quantities of lipophilic substances that accumulate outside the plasma membrane, migrating into the endoplasmic reticular cytoplasm and through the plasma membrane and cell wall into the secretory cavity where they form vesicles in the secretory cavity. Vesicles in contact with the subcuticular wall release contents that contribute to the growth of the cuticle during the enlargement of the secretory cavity. THC occurs in the walls, fibrillar matrix & other contents surrounding the vesicles, but not in the vesicles. Trace amounts of THC is present in the disc cells. We are most concerned with the capitate-stalked trichomes, as these contain the overwhelming majority of the psychoactive cannabinoids (THC, THCV, CBN). Different cannabinoids affect the high in a multifaceted manner. A small 25x or stronger pocket microscope, which can be picked up inexpensively at an electronics store like Radio Shack, works well for getting a closer peek at your trichome development. We are examining are the capitate stalked glandular trichomes, the coloration of these gland heads can vary between strains and maturity. Most strains start with clear or slightly amber heads which gradually become cloudy or opaque when THC levels have peaked and are beginning to degrade. Regardless of the initial color of the secretory cavity, with careful observation you should be able to see a change in coloration as maturity levels off.

Some cultivators wait for about half of the secretory cavities to go opaque before harvesting, to ensure maximum THC levels in the finished product. Of course nothing tells the truth more than your own perception, so try samples at various stages to see what is best for you & the phenotype your are growing. While you may be increasing the total THC level in the bud by allowing half of the glands to go opaque, the bud will also have a larger percentage of THC breakdown products such as CBN, which is why some people choose to harvest earlier while most of the secretory cavities are still clear.

hope that helps....BTW...it's found in the GROWFAQ....go read a little something and do yourself a favor....listen to the people on here that have grown more than once homie:mrgreen:
