Trichome Length - whip out your trichs

[elobrand]

I took a closeup of a bud and am always amazed at how the trichomes grow. They grow in all directions and come in many sizes. Some are long too. So I was wondering how long can they grow to?
This bud just inspired me to ask this question. It is by far not the longest or most trichomes.
Show me your long trichs.

Hey, it's not the length of the trich, it's the technique.

Scanning tunneling electron microscope... I will allow it!

Also, that is cool.

Edit: oh, are there different types of trichomes? Or are those different phases?

Yes, different types. Here is an excellent (brief) read:

So, are those trichs amber?

I'm going to say cloudy - the first one is leaning and just about to pass out and the other 2 are already couch-locked.
