Why are my buds not covered in frosty trichromes?
DrJynx86answered grow question 5 years ago
White hairs are the initial kind of, when budding is just starting, they need to get brown/black or entirely dissapear in some strains, the buds fatten up, trichomes fatten up and cover everything in sugar, and then depending on the strain maybe have some white hairs at the end before chopping time (like exploding from full calixes).
Probably 3-4 weeks more is a good estimation, and it's sure to get more trichomes, not less, so I would just keep on the same track, have some patience, and the result will be magnificent.
Good smokes!

Genetics play a big role, but besides all the info others already gave you, if you want frost go and buy a UV-B light (Not UV, not UV-A, get a UV-B light) that will trigger the trichome production as a defense against the uv-b.

it's too early, plus not all cannabis flowers are covered in frosty trichomes, depends on genetics, environment etc wait for another 1.5-2 weeks

Pistills Dark Pre FlowerI wanted to ask an expert why the pistils are showing such a reaction at the beginning of the flowering phase. The VPD values have consistently been in the optimal range, it can’t be due to excessive light since even buds at the very bottom are affected.Buds. Other

UV damageIn week 12, my Wedding Cake Auto had a UV lamp left on for 3 days, causing yellowing of upper fan leaves. After fixing the UV, the plant is recovering, leaves are green, and trichomes are turning to cloudy and amber. However, the plant has no smell. Should I wait or it is evaporaBuds. Other

How many days till harvest please? (It's close)Fine-tuning my timing, my 2nd harvest.
Looking for mostly Sativa effects but slight chill is ok to balance the acid-like high — 10-15% amber tx? 90% of pistils are orange/brown now. Feeding with 60-70% flowering mix, but only 50% N. Lens is Apexel 200X + iPhone, no affiliationa month ago
