Do triches grow underneath the leaves during vegatative growth?

Just looking around with microscopes. Never noticed before but i see cloudy triches underneath the leaves. I look around on all the leaves no signs of movements or bugs. Any ideas? maybe someone wants to go look at their plants and see if they got some triches growing for me :) just to give me a piece of mind.

thanks

Hey there,

I know what you're talking about and I've experienced it on every plant I've grown as early as seedling. I looked everywhere for bugs too thinking they were little eggs, but seems they're just part of the plant. And yeah, they look like cloudy trichs but without the stalk. Not sure exactly what they are, but I they seem the be part of the plant ;)

In veg growth, I am almost certain that what u are seeing are not trichomes, but rather a protective growth that is there to help guard against pests, diseases, and UV wavelengths, which can all do harm to the plant... The only time a true essential-oil-producing, and/or containing trichome is present comes after the plant has begun its flowering stage... At least in my experiences and dealings with it... The only time a plant in the vegatative phase has any essential-oil-producing or containing parts, is when it begins to put on it's female preflowers which is just a calyx and a single set of stigmas...
