hmmm??
the head of the stalk.. which is round and shaped like a globe.. this is where the THC goes inside a trich. That's the only part of the trich you should be looking at and examining. What each glandular (meaning round) trichrome does..is once the THC starts to form inside the galnd (the round top of the trich).. it will start with kinda cloudy.. then as the THC level inside the gland rises.. the gland will slowly turn from cloudy milky.. then from milky to an abmerish red color (ripe trichrome).
You don't examine the entire trich.. just the top gland.. which will be round like a globe. Start out clear.. then go to cloudy.. then to milky.. then to amberish reddish color.
Hope that helps ya.
Oh, lastly.. the only trichs you really want.. are 'Glandular" type. Which like I said earlier.. Glandular trichromes have that clear dome head (or top) on them. Kinda like a person with one led and no arms..
anyhow.. those are the ones you want.
peace..
