hi all
i am growing a sweet tooth auto, she is 33 days from seed and is starting to bud but i dont see any trichomes, not one, i have scouted every mm of every bud with a 45x microscope but none. i am new to this strain and have only ever grown bf pe and they normally show trics at about 26 days, but i was wondering if anyone knew when the trics normally show on s.t, i am growing in bio bizz all mix and for nutes am using bio bizz bio bloom, for lighting i am using cfl's equaling to about 6000 lumen with one 1000 lumen 6500k bulb, i have had a bit of burn on some leafs from hitting the bulbs but i have that under control now, any help will be greatly recieved, furious

6000 lumens Is not enough . I don't care what you feed it and give it . I honestly would sell all your nutrients to whomever you can and buy a 400watt Apollo set up and just feed plain ph 6.0-6.5 water with nearly 10x the lumens you stated it's getting . Maybe that will grow some trichs . Plant is probably sacrificing resin production to utilize what growth it can muster with such little light source . I honestly hope that 6000 lumen is a typo !

this is the second thread today I have read about an auto having zero trichs, it could just be the strain.

no 6000 lumens is not a typo, i have had sucsessful grows with these lights before with bf pineapple express auto, was a surprisingly good smoke, i am using cfl's for the last time, and all the rest are fu**ed where i dropped a whole box full of them, i usually have 17 1000 lumen bulbs obvs equalling to 17,000 lumens, when this last seed is used up im getring away from cfl's they have served me well, tho not the best either. i am mooving onto a 600w hps with 2, 4 tube t5's, and rather than a suggestion to how i could fix a problem i may not have have i was after a estimate as to when i could expect trics, thanks for your reply tho, a noob couod really use that info tho,

thanks for the pics joe buddens, can i ask? when did your trics start to form, i have spoke to tekdc911 and he was saying he has grown them for years and how old mine is, is still in verticle growth and will not show trics yet?
