Flushed too early?

[nom]

I wasn't deliberately knocking them about Monster but I have picked them up and carried them from my bedroom to the front room to trim or take pics in natural light.

So I'm curious, outdoors, can they be blown off simply by the wind?

Can you get the plants to make more?

heres a bit of info about trichs,

Bulbous:
The bulbous type is the smallest (15-30 micron). From one to four cells make up the "foot" and "stalk," and one to four cells make up the "head" of the gland. Head cells secrete a resin - presumably cannabinoids, and related compounds which accumulate between the head cells and the cuticle. When the gland matures, a nipple-like protrusion may form on the membrane from the pressure of the accumulating resin. The bulbous glands are found scattered about the surfaces of the above-ground plant parts.

Capitate-Sessile:
The second type of gland is much larger & is more numerous than the bulbous glands. They are called capitate, which means having a globular-shaped head. On immature plants, the heads lie flush, appearing not to have a stalk and are called capitate sessile. They actually have a stalk that is one cell high, although it may not be visible beneath the globular head. The head is composed of usually eight, but up to 16 cells, that form a convex rosette. These cells secrete cannabinoids, and related compounds which accumulate between the rosette and it's outer membrane. This gives it a spherical shape. The gland measures from 25 to 100 micron across.

Capitate-Stalked:
Cannabinoids are most abundant in the capitate-stalked gland which consists of a tier of secretory disc cells subtending a large non-cellular secretory cavity. During flowering the capitate glands that appear on the newly formed plant parts take on a third form. Some of the glands are raised to a height of 150 to 500 micron when their stalks elongate. These capitate-stalked glands appear during flowering and form their densest cover on the female flower bracts. They are also highly concentrated on the small leaves that accompany the flowers. The male flowers have stalked glands on the sepals, but they are smaller and less concentrated than on the female bracts. Male flowers form a row of very large capitate glands along the opposite sides of anthers.


i honestly don't know about regrowing, it's not something i have come across,
i didn't say it was a deliberate act by you, but even trichs touching skin/clothes will stick like glue

Oh behave!

He makes it sound like all the potency from my weed has just come off the plant!

[MonsterEnergy]

i didn't say that at all, lmao

it's ''cured'' weed, not fresh weed,
the whole reason it is cured is too increase potency ''activate it''

But mine have gone?

[MonsterEnergy]

looking at your own posted pictures, i can see trich heads rather easily,



so.........

[nom]

Well yes.. but this colour change isn't happening like I was told it would...

"Start flush at first sign of amber as they will continue maturing" but they have not.

I've ordered the USB microscope so tomorrow I should get a clearer pic.

I feel like they want some more feeding really and that I'd interrupted them at a critical stage but I really don't know what I'm doing! They are due to come down now having been visibly flowering for 8 weeks


Can you tell me if it's possible to leave it too late?

[MonsterEnergy]

you can go too far into flower, when the trich heads all go amber, you definitely didn't go too far
i have never had a plant finish in 8 weeks, ever


''wants too ask'' where are all the leaves? did you trim them all off or?
it simply can't mature if it's cant get energy from your light,

leaves are like solar panels - your plants rely on them for everything,
with no leaves it cannot do much tbh.....

where are the leaves?

I did trim them yes.. I was on the phone to a friend that grows.. but has been using the same method for 20 years and when I tell her what I learn from this place her mind is blown. She said it would give me less work when I cut them down a week later

I saw 30% amber on the HB when I looked at it a week ago.. Do you understand my confusion? I'm sorry if I sound like an idiot but there was amber and now there is hardy any at all!

I understand they need leaves, but thought not so much in the last couple weeks.. I'm trying to follow the advice I'm getting but...
