Purple strain trichome - purple or amber?
Blackcat13started grow question 2y ago
First time growing purple strain (Purple kush). Are the trichomes going purple and not amber, or it's just the bud colour reflection?

I've grown purple strains before, it is the anthocyanins of the plant reflecting and leaching into the trichomes, they will still amber up.
Just keep an eye on it, should be starting to amber up in due time.
Good Luck!

Hello, I see differt type of purple strains, some of them show an amber final trichomes and some show a purple color inside. So i think that you can expect to see their trichomes become amber or violet at the end.
Good luck.

Odd shaped budWhat is going on with my flower. I didn't go week by week. PH 5.8-6.2. ppm 550-800 between the 5 plants. I use .25 tsp beastie bloom per gallon, 4 big bloom, 2 big grow, 1 tiger bloom, 1.5 ml calmag, 3 ml hydroguard. Looks deformed and wider than the restWeek 6

How long between the sugar leaf trichomes turning amber and the bud trichomes turning amber?So I'm noticing on my leaves, many of the trichomes are amber - perhaps 20-30% average, and up to 50% on some. However, the buds have not gotten there yet. Approximately how long before the buds catch up?
PS: are these trichomes cloudy or clear? I have an inexperienced eye. 😇Week 10

My royal gorilla(RQS) is now in 8th week and started to flower (i think).
She should be transplanted in soil in about 2 months from now and harvested in 6 months from now.
My question is: did she really start to flowering or is she just big.still growing 2-3cm per dayBuds. Other
