I am still not entirely clear about identifying pistils and calyxes and observing trichomes. I may be using the wrong terms for the plant parts. I do know a female from a male, but is there anywhere on this site that has anatomical pictures of a marijuana plant with circles and arrows for idiots and nubes?
I'd also like to know if trichomes on the pistils turn amber earlier than on the leaves. My leaves all have lots of crystal clear trichomes with a lone amber one here and there, but the pistil trichomes are 20% amber. If I squeeze a calyx, no resin comes out. My first plant in June (first ever) was gooey sticky with resin when I cut it and this one is not yet. In June, I had no knowledge of all this botanical information, but I still had good weed. AK48.
I hope to have a trippy high, not a physical high, so I'm guessing 30% amber on the leaves (or pistils?). But that's just a guess, maybe someone can set me straight on that.
Next season, I hope to be answering these questions for all the nubes going through the learning curve.
I posted this in the indoor forum since it has the most traffic. I'm growing outdoors in a pot, but I believe my questions are the same either way.
I appreciate all of your patience; I promise not to ask the same questions twice once I get them answered.
