Nope. Crystalls dont really fall off unless you touch them or something brushes against them.Well I meant more along the lines of since it usually is seedy bud it probably did get pollinated, but since it's a female (hopefully stays that way) there won't be a potential for the seeds thus giving more energy for producing the crystals? I did noticed today that the smaller fan leaves next to the buds or rather right underneath the buds are getting covered in what looks like white crystals. Can anyone explain what i'm seeing. Is that the trichomes falling off the buds onto the leaves?
However lots of plants have crystals for m on the leaves. Since we growers often trim our weed as close to the calyx as we can to get rid of leaf (because it improves taste) we often use the leaves that have crystals on them to make hash or hash oil. With 1 plant it would be good for you to keep anything that had trichs on it for hash oil (not worth fucking with for hash with 1 plants trim I.M.O)
But you have the basic idea. Most plants that are seeded will reduce in potency because the energy goes to making seeds. If a plant is pollinated too early then they can reduce yields by almost half. They also grow slower if not waited to seed till the 3rd-4th week.
