Anybody know much about Hash Tips?

Crazy Composer posted some pics of a strain of his that had this white mutation on part of the buds-this was like ten years ago, and I'm not sure if it was here or overgrow or some other place-but he was a pro grower and didn't bleach anything, this was a straight up genetic feature of the strain. This "hash tips" stuff sounds like bs to me, never heard of it before.

So he got this effect with multiple clones or seeds? It wasn't a one off?

I just turned off the turbo setting. I normally run hortilux shps. But this time around running the hyper arc par pro 2300. It is strange though there are some tips that are 3.5 feet away that show signs but some of the closer not. That’s why I could not understand light bleaching. That usually occurred towards the too not the bottom ones. Temps are 78-81 rh at 15%

I've read about them in some magazine a while back and looked around online but they seem to be somewhat of a unicorn of growing. I just found what appears to be one forming in week 4 of flower: View attachment 2955110

Here's what a fully mature one is supposed to look like: View attachment 2955111

Anybody have any experience with these? Ever got them tested or anything?

I've heard about them. I think what I read said that to get them you have to have a really high amount of wattage with the right spectrum of light and Max out the nutrients to make the plant go nuts and use the light+nutrient like steroids. I'm not sure about all the technicals and science but from what I read that's the basics of it.

I don't think so. First off it's on one of the lower branches about 20 inches from the light. And second, when I look with a lens I can see clearly thousands of small trichromes all over.

Yeah bleaching is totally different than hash tips you can only grow them with leds because it requires a ton of wattage and max nutes. Leds make it so you can max out the light density without burning them if you adjust the nutes so that the plant can use the light and nutes in a way that's balanced you get a plant on steroids. Well I'm not a botanist and I'm new to growing but I spent the last 3 years inside my house reading and experimenting. I got 1080 watts with my 2 updayday 4000s and I got some pretty good results my first 3 times. Looks like frozen buds. But I'm not good enough yet to know how to grow hash tips. But thats what I'm aiming towards. Natural Moonrox is what I call em.

It's just the plant's reaction to weird intense light. I started seeing bleached tips under the first blurple LEDs, nothing magical about it. It doesn't make the buds more potent. Doesn't even take a lot of wattage, just poorly mixed wavelengths will do it, that's why it's more common under shitty lights.

Never heard of this, nor have I seen it before.
If I was to see it, like I am now, first thought is light bleaching.
LEDs tend to do it more than HIDs from what I know, even if the light is far away.

If it's not bleaching, it's just genetics.
I don't see how it would be any better than the norm though, it's just white buds, it may look like thousands of trichomes stacked together that causes it to be white, but I highly doubt it. As trichomes just can't form like that.

This is a real thing. It's not bleached it just has so many trichomes it'd basically concentrate. It's done by pushing the max watts with the right spectrum and adjusting the nutes so that the plant can process all that light into energy and use it super fast. If you have the right ratios it can be done. And it's a real thing. The trichomes don't stay white, they'll get amber and die. So a plant with hashtips would look black at the tips or tips of the buds if you let it go past the harvest window. This is how you can prove it. But it's totally a real type of bud growing if you are good enough to do it.
