is there a little trick to getting that beautiful sugar coated bud, or is that mostly genetics? do people use certain supplements to increase the amount of crystals? and how far into flowering do you start to see them?
an abundance of Trichomes is not always a good indicator of potency anyway.
A product called Carboload by advanced nutrients can help a plant be more able to recognise it's genetic potential for trichomes... also molasses, if you're organic.
