best strain to get for lots of trichs?

I'm looking to get a strain that will just be white with crystals. I wanna have a plant with just great amounts of trichs. Can anoyone point me in the right direction?

also does anyone know of a pick n mix seed bank in canada? only looking to get a couple of seeds for a little project grow. Don't want to spend all kinds of crasy cash.
thanks +rep

????????????????????????????????????????????????

Try from uk www.pickandmixseeds.co.uk I'm sure they ship international and are very discreet. I used them and they were top notch.

With regards to strain, I've only grown a couple and they were both covered in lots of trichs! You can check out my grow thread on the 2nd page of this forum - White Russian / White Widow are known for a nice coating (as the names suggest) - I have just harvested my Amnesia Lemon and very smelly and trich'd up.

white widow for the crystals. just got my order today from PnM.

My friend, go with White Widows if you want a plant covered in White Crystals,(if I understood the question right). Beautiful indeed!



Cheers

White Widow and all its crosses are known for that.

Here are some of mine:

for sure white widow. or headband.

I would say this Bubba Kush is pretty frosty. This is not the clone-only but anyone can get these seeds for $35 from here --> http://www.hempdepot.ca/seeds/Cannacopia/BubbasKush.htm

Super Silver Haze, takes a good 12 weeks to flower, but it's covered in snow and carries some of the highest THC contents. Try Mr. Nice Guy for the seeds.

damn all of those look sexy

Here's a cola off my Amnesia Lemon before harvest:

Hash plant and its derivatives are also good for big trichs. In my limited experience with these strains, white widow has many smallish trichs that gives the leaves and buds a carpeted effect. HP has bigger, fatter trichs that (as the name implies) are easy to collect and press into hash.

It makes sense that hash plants have larger trichome heads. They are indica and they are heavy on resin and lighter on THC so where is the balance point that needs to be found between trich look and effects of being consumed … that is of course unless all that matters is looks?

More trichs or larger trichs of a lower potency THC does not sound like the way to go to me when you can still get something pretty snowy that has a real bite to it and have that THC.

Agreed, I personally prefer WW to HP because of the more complex high. To the OP: what is your priority? A frosty appearance, knockout stone, high THC, all of the above ? Trichs ain't everything, you know.

Hey mared. I tried to buy them, but they are out of stock on it.

This was my choice if they had been in stock.

May sound silly to some but, I just wanted to grow a nice looking frosty plant.
Does anyone know any tricks to increasing resin? I read somewhere that putting ur plants in with stinging nettle will increase resin production. I had a plant out by a field and the thing was much stinkier than the one (same seeds) I had in my house. Much more frosty too.
I made my way through a sunflower field a few weeks ago (ouch) to a small bush just outside of town. I brought a hacking stick and carved a path through the bush and at first I could have sworn there was weed all around me. Stinging nettle everywhere. (and of course I was wearing shorts haha) The plants looked awesome. Stinging nettle like weed has trichomes, only they leave a nasty burning sting. Not sure what would happen if you smoked it. I'm sure stinging nettle has medicinal value of some sort though. So I am thinking next summer I will have to stick a few in with some nettle. Noone would ever realize it was weed and not nettle, unless they knew what they were looking for.

Conditional differences can be cause for noticeable change but not a total change.

I don’t know about actually increasing the size of each trichome-head/resin-head but if modern plant science is applied to marijuana plants the number of trichomes could likely be increased.
　
Very basically different functions are performed by hormones well when the hormone to grow trichomes is depleted that is it, there ain’t no more, none will be made to replenish it. The plant had hit its genetic limit.
　
But in various crops and fruits an application of GA (short for a 30 letter word I cannot pronounce) stimulates new trichome production.
　
If it would work the same when used with marijuana it would not mean larger trichomes but it would mean many more of them.

hmm.
It would be interesting to do a series of well planned tests. I'm not looking to sell any of my bud so I guess I will have to conduct some experiments. I've got several seedlings started right now (though i'm not sure how safe it is to say this, but of course i'm lying to make myself look cool)

Anyone got any experiments they would like to see done? I don't work during the winter, so I have nothing but time on my hands.

Maybe I will have one plant that I continually harass and cause stress to, and I'll watch its trichs compared to the others or something.
any ideas?

For my personal smoke though, i think ill stick with a UVB bulb and mollasses
