Foreigner Goes Legal

I thought something was different. I have a 60x it is tuff to see much. Your seeds do a great job of getting big fast. The Black Lebanon was 9 weeks I believe.

Interesting I didn’t know that. It would make sense though. Looking through the trichs even looks “hazey” like on a smoggy day😂

Very interesting.
I wonder do they tend to have larger heads also?
Have you observed this short stem thing personally?

I’m trying to give a good idea of the scale on these Everyday Hazes.

Reasonable:

More reasonable:

Big:

Huge. You can barely see the lighter crammed in the bottom there:

One big foxtail:

And some purple for fun:

Things are moving quickly but I want them to move quicker damnit.

Cheers for looking.

Thanks guys. They are picking up speed for sure.

I’ve grown quite a few landraces from hash making regions (Afghans, Lebanese, Syrian). Compared to many landrace sativas I’ve grown they have much longer stems, both visibly and under a microscope. Sativas often have more of a bulbous head that sometimes sits almost right on the surface of the calyx, while something like a Hindu Kush will have a much more “frosty appearance” due to the long trichome stems.

It’s deceiving when you look at it, but has become part of the ‘bag appeal’ of commercial dispensary strains.

This seems to describe what I’m looking at well.

Thank you for the keen observation gents!
FYI
Extra-large bulbous head trichomes are worth selecting for.
Thanks again for the info!

Random stoner thought here. :nerd_face:
Has anyone taken the time to observe the purple color migrating through the stem up into the trichome head?

I always wonder what exactly is in that stuff.
Color and what else.
Sometime it will go all the way to the head, sometimes not.
Anyone?

Yes

Pretty neat

Strange, I see little or no purple in the stem but a lot in the head.
I am used to seeing tons in the stem and some if any in the head.
Do you feel that is from letting things grow longer than usual?

I have ones where the stem but not the head turned purple too.

I think it’s the pigments leaking out of plant material into the resin. The plant these came from were purple AF.

Anthocyanins??

I believe you are correct

AKA color.
But what else, I know we can just guess without a proper tests.
Do you think it is just the color/Anthocyanins?
Again, just stoner banter here.
We could do a deep dive research quest for the proper answer, but that takes the fun outta things. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I wondered about this too.
Could be…

And also density of heads is a good one too. I know some EU breeders like to measure that as a kind of cheap way to judge what has the most total cannabinoids.

The only scientific test I did was smoke it and the results were inconclusive. I did not turn purple.
