@BigDaddyDrew try this thread.
Also for pics most cameras on phone have a micro function that will let you get very close pic.
Iām seeing a lot of white pistils. Imo needs some time but Iām a noob myself.

thanks man!, I know that thread, but after reading all of this one- I had the shots on my phone and made a qwik postā¦ I too decided to keep waiting. BTW- I never grind cannabis.

Heh yeah I much prefer to break or tear little pieces off and put that in my pipe and smoke it. Feel like I get higher than if I grind it up. My wife grinds the crap out of everything though

Iām just chuckeling over this whole side trackā¦ Sorry.
There is no hook, it wasnāt baitā¦just a random commentā¦but true nonethelessā¦we used to clean pot on frisbees and album coversā¦ I guess I never saw the needā¦these days a lot goes into a one hitterā¦ so no particular reason. I didnāt even have a grinder till I confiscated it from my kidā:sob:

I found the image noise source was actually the image stacking that the software uses. Ahhh itās because Iām too lazy to do the stacking myself.

that makes sense!! I know a few people who say they prefer the smoke (flavor, burn) from just breaking up the flower compared to grinding, while one buddy would say itās disrespectful to the plant!!

This is where the strategic manipulation of stress triggers comes into play. As i understand it, genetics will certainly determine the potential, but flipping the dip switches determines if you see it fulfilled or not. My next dabble into this is a refinement of a happy accident of sorts. This may sound odd, but itās going to be somewhat of cannibus acupuncture. I have chitin rich pins I intend on embedding in the branches. Theory at work is that the plant will interpret the mechanical and chemical stimuli of multiple chitin laced punctures as a full on insect attack and turn on the resin. Shoukd be a fun experiment anyway.

I just saw an article about using microstresses to increase cannabis quality/production. I think it was just a review article, but it means the research side is looking into this!!
I will try and post a link to it later, but if you Google scholar eustress and cannabis it should pop up!

10 years of research went into this post.
There is some good info here.
If you find anything that is not in that post please send me a link so I can review it.
@Cannacryptic have you reviewed this information yet?

Figured id cross link my post <3 Got some interesting looking trichomes here, notice how in one of the pictures it looks like a very long tall hair but it has a head on the top.

heh heh thatās an optical illusion. The long hair is a unicellular trichome thatās touching a capitate one, or really close to it.

I donāt know how I missed this tag! Iām sorry brother, thank you for sharing this, it looks to be packed with good info. I will spend more time this evening digging into it. Fascinating stuff. Reminds me of something my Grandfather said once while I going through some shit.
āSon, nothing grand or life changing happens in your comfort zone.ā He may be on to something

ahhh, 5 days ago. How ignorant, I wasā¦
Then I read this study from SFU. Fuck it man, Iāll just say this. If you want to change your life, read this study:
After I read that study, I stopped asking ignorant questions like that last one.

There is some incredible work being done in these fields! Iāve thoroughly enjoyed the work of Sutton, Connelly, and Livingston. Your excitement has me intrigued with the publication youāre referencing, Iāll definitely check it out! Thanks for the heads up! Itās like a whole other world in there when we begin to view these landscapes of cannabis in a zoomed in highly detailed macro type of view. Many blessings and much love

I learned something from that study about when things are beyond ready to harvest. In this image, the trichomes are leaking resin. That means itās done, no matter what āotherā harvest timing you use, this one is the final terminal straw for trichome development.
