Broken trichromes?

I have one NL and one White Widow and all the trichomes seems broken... I'm watching them with a 120x microscope and they all look like this:

Some are a little bit amber but I don't have cloudy trichomes because there is no Sphere at the end of the trichrome... Why?

Sometimes the temperature of the grow room went up to 30c (85f), can it be the problem?

The trichrome of the lower buds seems 80% cloudy...

Any help? Thank you!
 
Im no expert on why ur thrich looks that way, but it depends on the high youd like If your mostly cloudy and some amber its good to go.. Clear and cloudy is like a head high.. More amber and cloudy is like couch lock. Id cut when i see a few amber here and there, the thrichomes still developes after harvest. Note some strains turn from clear to amber without cloudy .. And you may wait forever and trichomes will be cloudy and never turn amber.

Id say certain genetics maybe heat or stress caused the trich formation. But if ur seeing amber id be gettin geared up to cut lol
 
Maybe your plant has gonorrhea. What does it smell like? Stagnant water? Mildew? Mushrooms? Anything like that?

Maybe it's evolving back into the good shit, back before resin heads, back when the whole plant was sticky with no "crystals".

Or maybe you sprayed/fed it with something weird.

It might be the heat. My worst crops are when I harvest in the mid 80's. I never really noticed the broken triches though. I have been growing my favorite strain so long I can just look at the calendar to know the harvest date.

What kind of microscope are you using if you would be so kind!
