Do you reakon if you had a sea of green solo cup grow, if once the trics are doveloping you could dip the plant for 20 minutes in ice water, give it a shake to extract trichomes then let the plant regrow the trics and repeat? Your thoughts? I may have to experiment on this lol

Two concerns- First the trichomes you are looking to harvest would still be underdeveloped (aka clear heads) and make for an odd racey high. Second, I have my doubts the plants are going to appreciate a 20 minute submersion in ice water enough to reward you with a second pull, if it even produced additional trichs at that point. The plant would continue to mature and die if it did manage to survive. Even if this did work, it would be a labor intensive proposition and require a bunch of those tiny plants for even a small amount of hash. Your ice water pull would leave a lot of unextracted product inside the buds that you would more than likely loose after mold sets in those buds and they begin to rot from the inside out.

Dont think it would work like that, the only way you would get new trichomes would be new buds, more than likely youd just shock the plant and it would be a lot more trouble than itd be worth... if youre at the stage that you can harvest trichomes you might as well just harvest the whole plants and do live rosin or something... just my opinion though im definitely interested to hear other's thoughts
