Buds starting and tricome leaves

[BarbwiredTN]

First time grower here again. Learning as I go thanks to this forum. Monday (4/28) mark's week 4 after flipping to flower on the 4/1. All but 1 plant is clearly showing new buds. The 1 that isnt is the only one I topped, could that be why and will it catch up or should I have left that one in veg longer? It's one of my tallest. Anyway, thsts not the point of this post. My main question is tricomes. On one plant (maybe two soon) the tricomes are so heavy on the surrounding leaves I had to come on and ask if this is normal, something nutritional or concerning? At harvest time do people use the leaves with tricomes or do you crush them up with the buds?

trim covered in trichromes can be used for a wide range of things:

making hash, butter, concentrate etc.

if you have a vape you can smoke them as you smoke bud there is 0 difference if you smoke them in a joint its really harsh to smoke.
i also made rosin with the leafs didn't get nearly as much as from buds but the rosin was good.same as with making butter. made alchohol with them....
you can allsoo make hash from them
biggest difference is when bud is milky leaf is usually a lot more amber.

Clearly things have gone wrong! Send all those leaves to me for proper disposal (at 20% amber heads, please)!

LOL it's a good thing. And do try and give those yellowing plants some sort of N with whatever bloom nutes your giving them it helps them alot cause their pushing the reproductive systems hard now. I like to top dress with worm castings but whatever works for you.

Lol. I take that as this is a good thing. You're funny.

You know, I was wondering about that. They are not quite as yellow as the pic. Must be partly the lighting. But I have some notes for cannibis (micro,cal/mag,grow,bloom) I thought I read somewhere that once buds start I'm suppose to stop the 'grow' additive and just use the other 3 per label. Does that sound right?

Thank you. I'll do my homework on this & 100% chance I'll try whatever is easiest lol

General Hydroponics trio? Following the bottle chart at half strength is super easy in general. Otherwise you can adjust ratios to suit what you see with your own eyes!

Maybe I should drop a leaf in my coffee. Wonder how many people already tried that

I grabbed a pic from Amazon for you. Heres what I use. Can use for soil or hydro. I totally forgot about the bud one. I have to go find that bottle lol

Ah, ok. I'm not familiar. Nitrogen and other "grow" nutrients are essential throughout, but tapers in mid to late flower.

The top left bottle (teal label) is the "bud booster" (0 1 3). Guess I need to start this one when I find where I put it lol
