OK before you guys get totally lost in confusion over links and drinks, here's a picture of a bud :mrgreen:

2016-09-30_day59 (2).JPG
Pineapple Express (Fastbuds) at day 59, main cola of 9.
Another 2 weeks I think, she's starting to dry out her older leaves. I worry a bit about her not really having fat trichs, they look more like hairs. OTOH I went and compared pix from the first round under those too-blue-COBs, and her sister didn't have great lobes either, though her smoke is strong and really agreeable.

So that got me thinking of plants being called "hashplants", does that mean those are strains that have bigger trichs, whilst others like this PE may have insignificant trichs (and be useless for hashmaking) but still be potent?
Or is it just that I have something to improve in my growing routine? :bigjoint:

Very nice Calli! Interesting point you got there, never really took note of that with my girls so not too sure myself.

She's beautiful!
The trichs sound just like the ones on the durban poison and frisian dew, which are sativa dominant, so you may be on to something there.

And those 2 strains, are they known as good plants for hash?
Not sure about the sativaness - my NL5xhaze had nice-sized trichs, they kind of set the standard for me I guess :D
Anyway, I can imagine I'll be paying better attention to the trich sizes of "hashplants" and others for a while ;)

No, quite the opposite, I think they'd be shite for hash lol Quantity wise anyways! I think you need a good Indica dominant strain for the best hash. I may be wrong! :razz:
I want one of your fancy microscopes to check trichs, point me in the right direction please ;-)

Hey hi! hows it out in the boonies? :D

Yeah I think we can just let that one stand like a Theory, it was a game my sister and I used to play haha, invent an explanation for something - always to ones best knowledge of course, but that could be totally lacking :D
I'm not so sure myself anymore, the PE has begun to show some glitter ;)
And yeah, indica & hash rings a bell for me too! And kush too actually

Ah microscope, look for a digital USB microscope, mine does 20-800x magnification, I think it's this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/XCSOURCE®-20X-800X-Microscope-Endoscope-Magnifier/dp/B00N4N8KYS
Not sure it's the best you can get for that money, the only issue I have with mine is that the imaging is so red, but I've found it may also just be user error - I used to let the light end stand on the table. But when I went to look at some aphids one day, I actually left the microscope further away from the object, like 5-7cm? and the colors were fine.
So go figure haha
The one thing you may want more of is resolution, it's not very high on the one I linked you ;)

It's not too quiet around here, i'm staying and working next to a busy motorway! lol Off home tomorrow so I can check on the young un! I forgot to say, I managed to make it home last weekend for a bit, and luckily enough she hadn't dried out and snuffed it! Haha i got a load done in the tent as well, cleaned it all and took down the hanging plants and set up the RDWC for her, so fingers crossed shes still alive when I get back! If all is well I'll post pictures of the new set up tomorrow or Sunday.
Thank you for the link, you're a star! I was expecting one to be a lot more expensive than that, I'll try and find one with a better resolution like you said! Thanks again! (:
And aren't we due an update of your girl?!!

Wohoo that's awesome news! I mean about the young one, not the motorway haha
Ha I'm all grinny and happy for you - you'll get this megagrow going no matter the odds! :bigjoint:
Greatly looking forward to meeting your hardy princess in her shiny new castle!

And you're very welcome, glad to be of help ;) Those trich landscapes, they're a world of their own -- truly worth it I'd say!
My girl's doing well, she's coming to the stage where she should double in mass and I'm doing alot of ruminating about how best to support her. :rolleyes: She got a CalPhos foliar today and aloe foliar is up next hehe

day 23 drippin' wet ;)

Oh and the Pineapple Express is turning, she's begun to brown up her leaves - I'm not fretting, just saying it's senescence on leaves that didn't go yellow because she's feeding herself from the soil :mrgreen: and I've taken a bunch of the oldest ones off to stress her a bit as she looked as if she was "stuck" for a while lol
She's foxtailing a bit, so still saying 1-2 weeks
