If not trichomes, then what?

I just can't get my mind around the microscopic processes by which these crystals form.

Can anyone venture a guess?

edit:
Are there mini miners popping holes in heavenly vesicles?

What chemical crystallizes like that?

If the photo was taken at room temperature, it was most likely not water.

This is not my bud. I found this picture on the internet and did not understand how it could be.

Nobody has the mind to venture a guess, eh?

edit:

Are they are cannabinoid crystals?

Are they evil crystals?

Somebody said they could be glass.

They look a bit like the crystals you can grow for gradeschool science projects...like so....

Growing crystals is a fun way to explore your interest in chemistry and geology. In addition to growing crystals from kits, there are lots of types of crystals that can be grown from common household substances, such as sugar (sucrose), salt (sodium chloride), epsom salts, borax, and alum. Sometimes it's interesting to mix different materials to see what types of crystals result. For example, salt crystals look different when they are grown with vinegar. Can you figure out why?

Not sure how it would work out to do on a plant unless it involved some kind of spraying...but its possible. If they are sugar crystals, I bet that will be one tasty bud. : )

There's no bud, just what appear to be non glandular trichomes growing from leaves. I don't remember ever seeing a plant grow a budless branch tip with leaves covered in trichomes at the end of a grow. If they're non-glandular trichomes they're pretty but they're not going to get anyone very high.

Young plant? Male? Hemp? Not cannabis?

I'm throwing in another vote for Ice. That's some awesome shit, according to the pro that got me started. He ran a 6 x 1000 watt system for 10 years straight, and grew many different strains. He told me that Ice was his favorite of them all, with the best combo of yield, potency, quick maturity, buzz quality, taste, and looks. That was just his personal opinion, and i believe him. That pic could be modified i suppose, but i think it's just an example of Ice, at it finest. :cool:

That's right, you guys can shove that White Widow up your ass. :razz:


J/k I'm actually growing Crystal, in which WW is one of the parents(along with Northern Lights), so i can't talk shit about it. That is some awesome looking stuff though, you have to admit. I don't give a crap if half of those trichs are inactive, 'cause i'd be happy to just sit there and stare at it all day long. :lol:

Here's a real pic of Ice....





(now i have to go back and compare them,lol but if i remeber correctly, the first pic looks bogus, like it's coated with real ice crystals)


EDIT: Yeah, it's BS. I should've noticed that those don't look like trichs. *smacks self on head*LOL
