No trichomes

I’m sorry if this has been posted before, but this is my first time here and have no idea how this site is run. I’m 3 weeks and 1 day into flowering and see zero trichomes. I’ve read numerous things saying I shouldn’t be worried too much, but at this point I’m getting nervous. I don’t know the strain, got the plant from a friend. I also think they’re kinda small at this point? but honestly I really don’t know. I’m not using any nutrients, just miracle grow potting soil and water, I know, I should probably be using something else, but this is my first real go at this.I apologize if anyone replies to this post and it takes me a while to get back to it, thanks in advance.

Patience is a virtue.........give it time.

Agreed, it has a lot of time left to mature.

Trichomes will build when your plant is closer to ripe
WELCOME to RIU

Those are just baby buds yet, give the little tykes a chance to grow up!

Thank you, you’ve all helped ease my mind!

things will get good around week 5

3 weeks into flowering...

These havetrichomes and resin on the big leaves.... that have never touched a flower.
This is "Whiterhino" from Greenhouse Seeds Netherlands.
I've NEVER seen a flowering female cannabis of good genetics without trichomes at least on the Stigmas and the Calyxes from the very beginning!
Even only the small grownat the internode-points... they are full of trichome... ALWAYS!

Patient is a ultra low resin-producing mutant... this genetic havent seen intense light for a while.
Still you can wait for christmas or the easter bunny to gift that one with some reasonable THC, not to mention that there is only few and small flower grown.... wonder why. Im used to the state you see on my pic. Dont feel pushed and please have no minority complexes now

Still im fascinated seeing it.... NICE one. It says "fuck you human, I do not what you want"

Is it some bagseed maybe?

BUT generally speaking:

Check the stigmas with a microscope... do they really have NO trichomes at all??? Not a bit? Also not on the calyx? I really cant believe it such a fuckup-mutant.
The pics are not close enough to see!

Really leafy and larfy looking plant. I wouldn’t be bragging about this personally


Why would you tell him to scope a week 3 plant?

Genetics matter. Some strains will frost waaayyy earlier.

Because i think he wants to grow THC. Right? I may be wrong....
First I tell him to check and MAKE SURE there is reallly non with the microscope.

If theres NONE to find, absolutely NONE... sure scope it! It's just a waste of time and energy... theres more thc in hempoil

Does he mean 3 weeks into flowering or 3 weeks since switching the lights.... if the latter, i would say give it at least a week
If thats already 3 weeks into (later than the 21th day of the first signs of flower).....it's a mutant.

I think it is a genetic cripple (result of self-opollinating) from a bagseed, he doesn't say a word about "what strain is this"... so i assume bagseed, soI assume waste of time and energy with what I see.

Thats why people say dont try these bagseed, it's not worth it... they are not good! Like incest! Usually when somebody does not states the strain or has no clue... it's exactly that! Cripple bagseen of self-pollination.... "but i wanted to give it a try"...

Just stating my honest opinion!

Its just my opinion, relax...

You cant ask your FRIEND what strain it is.... or does he not know too and thats why he gave it too you... just some fucked up bagseed, who cares, its crap whatever, here you have it. xD... Now lets ask rollitup-guys.

Please, for the sake of it, go first with good seed, that you know of the breeder or strain, at least. So we are sure its not a bagseed, which are the lottery of gene-defects. Beginners often think they are cool to start with to gain some experience.... well you not learn anything, just seeing some crazy teenage mutant ninja turtles

And then you ask the pro's in the forums about whats that shit... man, what am I supposed to know what the incest come up with kind of crazyness. Just dont use them, like you dont bang your sister. Simple rule!

It was just a matter of time before an asshole stopped by.

I pass this compliment on to those team members who helped me do the work and complete the project on shitting on your face
Thank you; I appreciate your kind words.

Jesus, I didn’t realize my initial post was going to create such a scene, I am in the “newbie central” forum right? If I didn’t follow proper guidelines for a post, let me apologize.

Candidate for a lobotomy right here folks.

They do that today more humane with giving you tiny pills that sedate you powerfully into beeing a sobbering potatoe until the rest of your life
No need for lobotomy anymore... that left such a "ugly" light on the nuthouses.

The result is today the same.... just the method changed.


PS: When you put a tunnel into this skull, my daemon simply going to possess another empty soul on your planetry.... watch my avatar. You think im actually this loser fleshsack here? Its just a tool for my PSI Muhahahaha, it's boring up here.

You have no reason to apologize brother.......you did nothing wrong.
An asshole troll hijacked your thread..........I use the ignore button.
Good luck with your grow.
