pistil length and thickness is just a personal preference with me, yes trichome development in the earlier stages is related to the trichome development in the later stages, not necessarily the amount of trichomes, but their size, development, and length...... it is typical though that if it doesn't start out with a whole lot, its not going to end up with a whole lot, but a good part of how it goes has to do with the grower and the technique 
...... seeing as how the WC with the curved stalk wasn't FIM'ed and was grown using the same techniques (in relation to general practice, the plant still had its own focusses) as the other three strains, it is safe to say that it will produce less trichomes over all then compared to the other three strains.
Chemo Cindy has the largest trichomes, and they come in very densely populated
, the buds are large and dense, this plant also has the most budsites per inch of stem.
Twilight has the most trichomes coming in over all and has the densest calyx formation, though the trichomes are slightly smaller in length (they are just slower to develop as they do get longer with age) they are fatter than any of the others, this plant has the second most bud sites per inch of stem.
Maui Skunk has an almost perfectly evenly distributed flower development pattern, tight buds, avg sized pistils and calyxes, that are nicely covered by avg sized trichomes which are devoloping at a good rate, she stretched more during the initial phase than any of the other plants, she hogs the light sucks up the nutes and the water really quickly, she has the second to last bud sites per inch of stem ratio, but I think technique has play into a good part of this, as if I had done a few things differently with her (like LSTing and giving her more veg light), than I think I would be seeing more budsites, and had I got to trim her right as I flipped the switch to 12/12 (having LST'ed her with denser veg nodes) she wouldn't have stretched quite as much, and still had the same perfect development patterns, so she is definitely a keeper, one that I will work with more in the future........ she may have a brilliant future
The Widow Cindy with the curved stalk has the least amount of bud sites per inch of stem, and I am not favorable to... I think I described her enough for today...
The Strait Stalk FIM'ed Widow Cindy looks very nice..... she sits in dead fourth place thus far, though she beats out the Maui Skunk in bud site per inch of stem, she is just as dense calyx wise.... indeed she is very comparable to the Maui Skunk.....
I didn't take any cuttings from these plants as I had planned.... it seemed more of a hassle than it was worth..... but the preview for what is to come from the clones of those mothers is very promising........ I would be stoked if I pulled a lb total from these six ladies in flower....... they look like they will give me between 9 oz's-14 oz's depending on how the next two and a half weeks go (while I shoot them up with nutrients lol)
Like I wrote before..... I have a lot of catching up to do with this journal...... thus far it isn't even half ass..... its been 1/4 ass.... LOL..... things are starting to come together..... Im working on it
