Trichography - Cannabis Flower Photos - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

Clean the resin off your lens & post your high resolution trichographs.
I measured 40 pixels across on the head of the closest of these & the front of my camera smells like lemon candy.

To start off with I took a picture of the trim to be on one of my plants thats further along & pretty close to harvest, looks like maybe I should have already hung it.

Here is another photo of the same region, a lot of amber & a lot of headless stipes.

Two photos of the same leaf, but further in towards the flower

Here is the flower

So looking at these pics I'm getting the idea that trichomes become decapitated when some of the somewhat solid & gelatinous THCA inside become decarbed by the sun (possibly via the photoelectric effect) and since the outer leafs get more exposure they look ready to harvest earlier.

These are pictures of other plants I have which are much less further along in flowering, got 2 weeks to go at least, for comparing to the older plant in the post above.

These pictures are all along the "resin rails", I had to shot these pics blind so sticking the lens up to the rails and clicking a few times is my easiest way to get sharp trichs in the center of the frame where I have good focus & not to much lens distortion, chromatic aberration, etc.
A lot less amber, cloudy & headless ones in these trichographs.

My dank leaf stems, those trichs are gonna be hash some day soon.

I just noticed those black spots in the last pic, those better not be fucking mites

Here is two different views of that same little leaf edge from slightly different angles & foci.

It seems the biggest I can get the trich heads is about 40 pixels, gonna need to grow bigger trichcomes or get a better camera.

Nice work. I like the last shot in OP, the full flower. Very dank

Excellent!

Check out that top one thats well lit & in focus, looks like the lighting right & the head was clear enough to get the disk cells in the photo. You can also see the disks' outline in the two heads just below that one.
