I just broke a bud in half to inspect inside (newb)

I was all worried about mold (my first time growing, drying & curing).

So I broke this curing NL1 bud in half & inspected with a loupe. I need a microscope!

I found no mold (phew!) but I had NO IDEA… the inside of this bud has JUST AS MANY TRICHOMES as the outside. That was genuinely shocking. For some reason I thought the trichomes were surface only. Pretty cool thing I learned today :+1:

I think you’ll find it’s just the middle that has trichs. If you break off more pieces I doubt you’ll find any.

But then you’ll have to smoke it :joy:

Just curious, did you smoke before making that revelation and the 1st post? Nothing but good natured ribbing here- “Ever see a $20 bill…ON WEED??”

Haha, nope I was not high.

I never had a full-time corporate job, I was never in a loveless marriage… basically life hasn’t yet beaten me to death so my sense of wonder/magic are very much still alive. I genuinely find life fascinating & I’m nice to everyone.

You should see me walking down city streets, with a big dumb smile, stopping to pet everyone’s dog. I bet abunch of people assume I’m special needs :laughing:
