Thats some sexy space alien lvl stuff. Just look at that weird purple thing in the trich stem.

yah that was extending from the surface of the plant up the base of the trichome. Lots of the trichs were like that, it usually happens when the buds get purple. The THC itself seems to be localized in the head and not something that comes from the surface.

So likely that is leaf pigment, whatever its technically called leaking into trich.
I think they call it anthocyanin, the purple color in plants. Unfortunately it won’t get me high

here’s a big bud trich photo to tweak your mind!
what I have noticed is the camera produces a kind of hazy aura around the edges of objects in the photo. It doesn’t look like that to my eye. I wonder…if the condenser is out of alignment.

I think tomorrow I am going to start the harvest. There are lots of buds I am going to take most of the big bud and make it into hash. I might save a little? probably not. But the meat breath I am going to do a regular crop session with it. Trim the smokables, bubble hash the hashables. I take the top 1/3 of the plant and hang that to dry, then take the rest and make hash. There might not be as much dank weight on the bottom, but it ironically makes the same amount of hash kilo for kilo against top nuggets.

Hahahah, being able to take a photo of the exact same trichome after drying is impressive.

Yeah if I have a open outlet I’ll put the tube on and tie a knot in it
oh yah secret microscopy tech… just kidding! The sample I took with the purple trichome I left it on the slide in place then let it dry up overnight. In the morning I snapped some more photos heh heh. You can see in my microscope case I have lots of mounted slides in there, if I get desperate for some hash I can break them open for a quick rip. mmm heh heh not really, but they are slides of oils, hash, and various parasites, both plant and human. My daughter and I made them up using some fiber cement glue(contact cement green) and the samples of course over the years. Gotta get some science and thinking into them kids ASAP!!! I can break them out at parties, and blow people’s minds.
Most humans have never seen shit like this before.

Yeah for sure. Pretty specced up stuff. I wondered. I even checked back on the older photo a couple of times to make sure it was the same trichome 
shiiit I dried a couple meat breath buds and smoked them. They definitely don’t taste like oven cleaner lol. It’s like a medicinal spicy taste. Very pleasing to the palate! It definitely tested above placebo in my mind, so the next test is hash making of course. I’m going to have to delay that a few days though because I have my microscope locked away from greasy hands. But… I am tempted to see what my nephew’s reaction would be towards scientific instruments like that. His mind is an enigma.
Anyways, the meat breath is sticky icky, of course. I heard one of my beta testers complain that high thc weed never had any flavour… so I said better try this stuff out. Beta testers want to come over and trim plants for a handful of meat breath, so I think it passed the first test. “Do People Want to Smoke It”? check

Sounds good. Definitely a bonus not tasting like oven cleaner.

Great news! Got my invitation to the contest so I better hone my hash making skillz! I will be entering in hash and buds so I’ll have to select some good buds for display as well. The winners will be tested for heavy metals and pesticides as well - so I’m good there. That was part of the medicinal production - can’t use bug spray! And heavy metals?? none of that shit here either, been tested for that and pesticides down at the non profit. Can’t be hanging with them using contaminated plants. Gross! Usually I get third place for buds, first place for hash. We’ll see how the competitors look this year. It’s not just who you know, it’s also what you know. I love to smoke mass hash and weed, that’s my number one objective. But I also love to hear their crazy ideas!

there’s a little bud porn…yay! Things are moving along…I should be done the harvest tomorrow I hope! I will definitely have a freezer full of buds after this harvest. Next round is brewing already, there are plants that need to go into bloom right away. No rest for the wicked!

It’s all over but the crying now! Beta testers are loving the meat breath they call it monster breath hah hah. I hope tomorrow or the next I’ll be able to make the hash! Hopefully tomorrow! depending on what happens.

Our one chance is transdental electromacide! After the hash production, I am starting to think meat breath is going to be the second in command. It’s going to be a day or two or something to confirm, but I think I will be planting the next generation anyways. The data that has come back already says Meath Breath will be moving forward. Once I have completely experimented with the melt level and vapor concentration, but also my mind, then I can make a final decision.

I also enjoy experimenting with my mind

heh heh well the hash is excellent, but I didn’t do a yield test. That’s ok! I only had three plants, not enough. Got to do it with 4 under one light, or else the control is off. I’m sure the yield is ok? heh heh those words could come back to bite me. I’m pretty close to finishing the cleanup! I took a day off after harvest to goof off…err I mean make cookies 
I’m bagging the buds already they are cured/dried/whateverthefuck.
