So I'm nearing my first harvest. Day 65. My White Widow, Mango, Hash Plant, are just covered in trichomes, especially the Widow. I'm having a real trouble finishing them up. The tops are the plants are starting to yellow rapidly, the leaves by the buds are getting brittle and crunchy and going from yellow to brown. I dried some lower, tiny popcorn nugs from the plants and dried them for 4 days in a closet. Smoked one, DID NOTHING! :( How can a plant be this covered in Trichs and not produce a stone at all? Now to the parts that's confusing me the most.
One of the determining factors of "ripeness" is the the trichomes going from clear to cloudy to amber. Clear means something, not sure what. Cloudy is peak ripeness, Amber means past peak and THC is degrading to Cannaboids. (this is all from my reading on the subject).
However, I've been told that THC doesn't exist at all when the bud is green so how can it go amber and begin to degrade. From my studies on the web I thought that you can't get stoned from "wet" nugs because the weed has to be drying for some conversion process to get you high.
At any rate, look at this sweet test nug.... smells like a heavenly fruit, so sticky if I threw it, it would stick to the wall. ZERO buzz. What have I done.
