Ok thanks I'm just worried on my last grow trichomes fell off or something like that. My last grow was a couple of autos super frosted. After 2 weeks of plain spring water not as frosted as it was idk what happened. After a trichome is ripe how long until they start to fall off?
hmm not sure what you mean. I like to wet trim because the trichomes are most hard to break off roughing it around.
I just go by the pistols when they turn orange and the buds have a popped popcorn look is the best I heard it put.
I have lost terpenes, sticky and smell, by letting ut sit longer than that though. Id update with pics of plant if that happens again for more help Im a newer grower too.
This ones just a dead giveaway, need some weeks for sure. As to when to chop exactly idk I make flower rosin so I dont bother curing for smoke.
