Hi
My plants are a little over 8 weeks, i dont think the buds will get any bigger. There is hardly no trichomes from a LOT of heatstress. I'm using just water at the moment. Does anyone know if i leave it longer more trichomes will show up?
 
Goof i think you goofd if you havent any trichomes after week four regardless of heat you shoulda pulled em man, sounds like you got some bunk seeds... Do they stink? ne pics?

Goofy, not all strains show an abundance of trichomes. You did right by not cutting early. Examine the trichs that are left for maturity then chop. Flush now or at least keep up the straight water.

Add a Hortilux MH with most Blue and drop the Temps
let me know if it helps never needed to try this but according to whats been learned hear the buds should tighten up and stack Trichs due to the Light Spectrum Resin should Come due to Low Temp
Report Back in a week so I know to Try it
if it works I will be Running everything an Extra week under MH in low temps I just hate messing with it if it aint broke which is closed minded and ofcourse leads to no room for improvement YAY!

looks like there is a few male clusters, did you have hermi problems? i find there less tricy

Smoke it before making a judgement i felt the same about White widow low trics up until week 12 to 14 then the weight and trics pile on. In the end and 1/3 extra flower time the smoke is decent much better than at 8/9 weeks (last grows).

a smoke should tell you if it has potential even if picked early, nut if it doesnt suit you find something better suited more indica if you want big trics fast.
 
yeah, they look herm to me
they aren't going to finish much more than that. Your time is better spent starting a new crop after you figure out what you're going to do about temperatures.

window unit or indoor a/c, or cut down on your lights, get more fresh air in, cooltube your lights etc...
you won't grow good weed until you get your temps down. I've been there

What are you talking about there are plenty of trichromes on there. Its also not hermie. Maybe I see one see forming but not a big deal. A lot of strains will not have a lot of trichromes. Heat is definitely your issue though, lower that and your next strain will come out better. Wait till you smoke that, it might be great.
 
I had a plant looked a lot like that from some mexibrick. It hermied and seeded (i think from the little light on the power strip that was on 24/7 in the 2'x2' cabinet) but I let it go 9 weeks anyway. Crazy deisel/mango taste, nice chunky buds, STINKY, STICKY, and Heavy stone that was behind the eyes but not so much anywhere else. potency was 7/10 despite lack of trichomes. Would not clone but couldn't complain either.

This guy is speaking the truth, you have lots of trichs on there, just not huge ones. You are growing bagseed so unless you get a really good pheno more than likely you're not gonna have some super duper frosty nugs but you have frost on there for sure.
