Where are the trichomes??

[gogettalif]

Another LSD25 AUTO problem. In 9th week, Ph6.0, hydro, GH 3part nutes, Hydroguard, 12/12 lights, 68 - 70 degrees temp, 60-70% humidity and
2 fans for air movement. There's a good amount of buds, not yet ready for chopping, but hardly any trichomes. What is that? -tom

No clue. But I can relate.
Mine were Cherry Kush. Beautiful plants from a few feet away. Fat, hairy buds. Big green fans. Bushy plants.
Up close, not a single trichome. No sticky. No smelly.

If it sativa dominant they might take quite some time. Mine do.

I think lsd 25 auto is an indica or thats what the description on Fastbuds says. Being an auto though, all bets are off. LOL

Can you post a picture?

These are at about 55 days from flip give or take a few days.

As you can see I am struggling to keep the sativa (hybrid) healthy. I am getting bad calmag deficiency and some leaf curl to go with the crispy leaves. The buds are large and dense and trichomes only just coming on. The top leaves covered in rust spots, I think related to the additional red spectrum.



By comparison the WWxSD is wet with resin and weeks ahead in trichome development. Smaller buds than above.



And same with the OZ x SD



These two SD crosses can be smelt 100 yards down my driveway. They are wet with resin and dank as. The WW x I have run out of yoyos on and they are saturated and wet as.

Are you sure that's not a potassium deficiency? Too much cal/mag will lock out the K, I have had that before

When the rust spots started to show I wasn't giving it any calmag suppliment but you could be right. The leaf colouration on the OZ x SD is not related, it's because I broke the branches supercropping it.
