Zomgshaman (Post #9) attached a photo that hit the nail on the head. Except ours aren't as frosty. As mentioned in the first post, the plants have been into flower for a month. Most of the activity has been at the tops of the branches, where decent buds are forming. Well, I think they're frikkin
awesome, but you fellers would probably say decent.
So, even though I spent an hour with a pair of tweezers being a moron, my cluelessness must be viewed in context. The amount of vegetative matter that I plucked off would barely cover the bottom of a shot glass. Compared to total plant mass we're talking .0002%.
OK, photographic evidence to appease those who asked. That little tiny nodule thingie right at the branch junction, or node, or whatever you call it. Right in the center of the shot. I found this one this morning, so immediately removed it.
Kidding, sheesh, lighten up
Sometimes the hairs are white as snow. Sometimes, like in this case, they're various tones of browns and reds. What's the story behind the colors?
