Why are my buds not covered in frosty trichromes?
DrJynx86answered grow question 4 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

Is she Flowering?Is my plant looking like she will be flowering soon? I'm not 100% sure... Also, she is getting really bushy, should I just leave her to grow naturally, or can I defoliate some leaves so the new bud sites can get to the light better. There is a fair few underneath that need light

Let the sun do the work?My girls are in their 3rd week of flower, it’s so nice outside and the sunlight is way better than the lights, can I take them outside for the 12h or leave them in the tent?
I fear that my light may not have the power to produce quality nuggets.
Keep in mind I’m a total newbie.Buds. Other

Trich's / Buds look ready to flush/harvest?Do these trich's look mature enough to start a 5 day flush? Strain is a 55% sativa 45% indica autoflower. Breeder stated total time was 10 weeks, we're at day 80 today but thats not uncommon. I'm seeing 70% cloudy 30% clear a but wouldn't mind a set of more experienced eyes.

Pistils turning brown?Noticed quite a few pistils have been browning. I’m not sure if this is a sign of anything? I kicked her into 12/12 about 3-4 wks ago, and I thought the budlets were looking good up until now. This is my first grow so I’m still learning, any help would be appreciated!
