So I helped a buddy trim a couple of lbs today and saw a few strange things. Advice is welcome!
1) This particular strain has relatively small stems & big dense buds. Because of this, many of them were slumped over so much, they were horizontal. So the light only hit one side of the bud, which made them two-tone. Top side was purple & bottom was green. Is this normal?
2) Trichomes were still mostly clear even though it was obviously time to chop. (buds were starting to pop bananas.)
Is it the strain or the environment? Anyone else seen this?
3) I noticed several droplets of what looked like sap. Light yellow & sticky. Kind of like pine tar but thinner.
This REALLY confuses me. Weed sap is a new concept for me. Most of it was on stems, but I did find a drop on one of the buds. WTF is going on??? Might be a good thing, might not. Dunno. What do you think? If it was outdoors, my first guess would be that it's somehow related to insect activity -- but this is indoors and completely insect free.
