Trichome Microscopy 🔬 Harvest Timing Science

[JoeCrowe]

This is what I’ve noticed. People call the auxiliary calyx that forms a “pre flower” but the thing is, it’s definitely a full grown flower. Every plant I know has a time before they reach sexual maturity and then start to bloom. I call them “seedlings” at that stage. As long as it has a white hair known as a pistil, it can produce a seed, even if it never enters “bloom mode” aka 12/12 for photo plants. When I see the first calyx in veg, I just say “oh, it’s reached maturity!”
