Sugar leaf or bud? What trichromes matter?

Lucifers_Nurserystarted grow question 4 years ago

I'm looking for some better clarification about checking trichromes. Are the trichromes on the sugar leaves as important as the trichromes on the bud itself, when trying to determine if she ripe for the picken?!

Only on bud. Hopefully, you'll remove most of the sugar leaves so their trichones don't matter. They tend to mature quicker than buds.

Dry spots on sugar leaves, plant late in flowering, also spotted on another one in the same reservoir Hi guys, my plant is around 2-3 week before harvest. What is the cause of the these dry spots on some of the smallest sugar leaves on my plant? The ppm might be too much and is around 1200-1300ppm. PH is 6.0-6.1 I've spotted it on one other plant in the same reservoir. Thank you

Suspected Calcium Def?Think this might be the start of a calcium deficiency. Only on two of the older leaves and in similar spots on the leaves. These leaves may have also had some water on them after the last watering. Tried to remove it as best I could. Any thoughts?
