Trichomes
and Harvest Time
Trichomes
are plant structures found on and around the leaves surrounding
the
 flower.
You can see them with the naked eye, but they only appear as
"white crystals". In order to tell if the plant is ready for
harvest, You need a 10x or 30x loop or magnifying glass. This is
the best way to describe them.
With your 10x or 30x loop , On an
immature plant, the trichomes will appear as clear or
translucent structures .
 Some
of the trichomes will appear as a ball, some appear as a stalk,
and some appear as a stalk with a ball on top. (click on the
pictures).
It is time to
harvest when the trichomes lose their transparency and become
cloudy or opaque. |
