Hey guys at what week does trichomes ramp up production? My girls are 22 days since the 12/12 flip. I see some trichomes on the leaves right on the bud sites but not on the fan leaves yet. Is this dependent on genetics or am I doing something wrong?

Trichome production is completely genetics

however I have had strains show little to none for weeks. Deemed them bunk. And the last few weeks of maturity just explode with resin And become one of my better plants. Just gotta keep faith and wait till the end. Also. Terpenes become more dominant after time. Like smell waves lol. Good reason to listen to most of the people here when they say wait the extra couple of weeks till harvest. You always thank yourself later

I like the innovation!
Thanks, right now(if I were using them) they hold 4 gallons of solution. The first pic, with all the trichs, her rez was only 2.5 gallons iirc. I'm looking to find shallower pots to adapt, those are 7.5 gallon totes but only hold 4 gallons because of pot depth. I want to get to 5Gallons, hoping Ph won't swing as hard.

I use a 4 gallon bucket and it only holds 2 gallons with pot depth. My ph doesn't move around too much and when I add back, it always puts me back to baseline. I do have to do a complete res change every 4 days though. I would like a bigger res, but I'm thinking of just adding a control bucket with a top off res.

Also, if you do weave her into the net, remember, she's a weed, she can handle a little rough treatment. She'll look a bit tortured once she is woven but the even canopy will help to get something like this20210308_210629.jpg

I wouldn't. By waiting till the end of the stretch, all of the growth hormones will have been sent to the tallest branches possibly reestablishing an apical cola, rather than distributing those hormones among the other cola points. Perfect comparison, these two same strain as the other two, the one in the left grew into her low stress staining and topping while her sister in the right leaned over and reestablished an apical cola. I think she popped One of her tie downs off.

I WANT THOSE CLUBS! DUDE! I'd take them Spaced out like that! I was in a 32"x32"x55" tent at that time couldn't get anywhere near that with two girls in there!

We have soooooo pirated this dude's thread. Think it is a subconscious attempt to preemptively prove we at least have an idea of what we're taking about? bongsmilie?

Sorry I know this is something op created but I felt it was related...so I'm on day 2 of flower and I put this trellis up today... obliviously you guys are saying op still has time so that means I would have plenty of time as well ? I thought I may have waited too long...

Looks great. Maybe weave that one in the back left into the net better. I've never used a trellis though personally.
 
@lakerGang1989 what is your net for? Are you trying for a scrog? Your canopy is everywhere brother. You're supposed to bend her under your netting for an even canopy.
I’ve already broken two main colas doing that. I didn’t want to use the net just the cages. But needed to let some of the smaller branches catch up which I did for the most part. This is my first grow. I know what I need to do next time. I’m just getting through this grow so I can start my second.
