So I have grown aurora indica before and it was so so, mainly because it was one of my first grows and I screwed it up by keeping the room to hot. It hermied pretty bad and i got about 40 seeds out of it.
So when I was about to start my new grow in my grow tent I decided to plant some of these hermie seeds and keep them outside and just experiment with them.
Now here is what happened.
I kept them outside in my yard and in good sun and about half way through flower I moved two of them to a shaddy part of the yard.
I chopped the one in full sun about a month ago and forgot all about the other 2.
I went out there today and saw them and I thought they had gotten some sort of fungus because they were almost all white. When I went right up to them I realized they were trichomes.
Now I have seen some Dank bud over my life and this was insane to look at. It literally looks like there is snow on them. There is NO green because it is covered in millions of white trichomes.
Under the microscope they are ALL milky... NONE are clear or amber. Weird right?
So this is where I need some ideas.
Both of these were in the shade. One was in complete shade and the other had some sun on the one side. Nothing great.
So back when I put them in the shade this is what happened from then to now.
Never watered them (rain water that made it there is probably how they survived.)
They got no light (except some on the one)
At night my light in the yard is on so they get some of that because the light is right above them. The light is a daylight fluro.
It has been getting cold out the past few weeks.
They are about a month past where I thought their harvest date would have been.
So they were getting no water, no light in the day, fluro light at night, cold air and way past the optimal harvest date.
and I get small looking popcorn buds all over the plant. These popcorn bud are insanely covered in thick, milky trichomes that look like there is a thick layer of snow covering the plant. I am going to try and take a picture tomorrow because you have to see this to believe it.
Now i know they are small popcorn buds but the amount of trichs is so overpowering on the plant that I would imagine it is worth 3 big nugs of normal trich.
So how do you guys think this happened? I would love to incorporate this into my good grows and get that kind of trich development on fatter buds.
I just dont understand after treating them like that how they could develop like that.
