When I check the trichs on my plants, I tend to pick some of the parts on the upper colas that are getting the most light thinking that the trichs will be most developed there and tell me how far along the plant is.
The problem is that the trichs on those parts are often clear and also slightly damaged, maybe from the light or from the fans.
So I kept thinking that the plants were still undeveloped, but the pistils were shrivelling and darkening and the calyxes were swelling up, so it was confusing.
I checked a mid branch where the light is weaker and there I found that all of the trichs were cloudy. This was very surprising. Apparently, trichs turn cloudy by the maturity of the plant rather than the intensity of the light.
