Farmers have grown out cannabis seeds searching for The Sticky One since before recorded history. In my own quest cracking seed after seed I have seen many varieties pass by - choosing only to continue a select few. Of these only one other variety, a random leda uno x white widow x lambs bread cross has ever displayed the phenomena I am about to reveal in macro photographs for the world to drool over.
The second plant which was created this rare amalgamation of trichomes is the China Black Mystery Mix from Kak genetics over on that medical pleasant peninsula. Now, you may have seen the macro photographs of Subcool's that display trichomes which had ruptured and created strings between two leafs. It is in Dank 2.0 if you need to look it up..
Sometimes when growing DANK you get clusters of trichomes that look like forests as the glandular heads swell to maximum capacity, dwarfing the diameter of the stalk. When moving my plants around for hand watering some of these forests get smashed against another leaf of calyx (ovum) and creates strings of THC. Then, and only if you've done proper selection for the most resin production, will your plant go into overdrive and create massive THC droplets. These amazingly medicinal plants are very rare and quite elusive when starting seed stock, and known quite appropriately to seasoned farmers as 'The Sticky One.' Hash farmers seek out these sacred plants hidden within the genetic code of cannabis because their trichome heads will stay sticky even after the resin powder dries.
We are talking about the unicorn of the cannabis world. A resin freak, which can create droplets of trichomes the size of dinner peas. Now, the first time InI saw these appear in mid flower I thought something had dripped onto my plants, so I scraped it off, and reluctantly ate it after not being able to decide it wasn't trichomes. It tasted just like the juicy golden spears smelled in late flower and was quite refreshing and floral. The next day when the lights came on these droplets had literally regrown from the trichomes around them and the residue that was left. This was many years ago and photography wasn't on the level it is today..
Luckily, photographic equipment has progressed as we can document things better than most crime labs now days. Here are some shots of 'The Sticky One', #4, Aka LUMP from the China Black Mystery Mix at day 69. There are some air bubble inside from the paper clip I poked it with to taste it. It was akin to the first experience, and floral like the purest dry sift hash.
First, a quick photo to document ripeness because today is harvest day
Now, on to the show!
The droplet even dripped onto the flower below it
Good luck in the quest for 'The Sticky One'
