I was perusing another forum that has auto section (Starts with an "R", ends with an "I") when someone asked about wanting a heady sensation.
After growing over 4 decades, trichomes are part of telling about a plant's readying to harvest, esp. autos. Trichomes can be affected by heat, light just as other trichome plants react.
A fellow said, "That's a MYTH!" regarding judging trichomes to gauge when to chop (besides the obvious cessation of fan and 2ndary leaves).
If it were a "myth, don't you think the internet would light up saying so? Checked Jorges Cervantes, Kyle Kushman's answers on trichomes and being clear (not ready), milky (ready), amber, starting degradation and full blown degradation 100% amber being like an over-ripe banana (analogy).
Would like to read your thoughts, experiences and notations regarding reading trichomes via jeweler's loupe or magnifying glass to judge when ready. Back in the late '70's, we hacked when pistils were brown or red, not looking at trichomes.
After all these decades, am I incorrect in 'reading trichomes' to judge when to whack it down....auto or photoperiod??
Appreciate answers.
