I have been grown several times in the past but have never seen this before. They look normal on trichomes ect, They have grow in size and only shown up on 4 of the 8 tops. [20190302_114326] [20190302_114727]

@fishdude2 I am am a newbie but possibly bud mold/rot?

I’ve run across examples of this on several forums. Led light bleaching of the buds. https://www.leafly.com/news/growing/white-tips-on-cannabis-buds

Upon further inspection the Cotton appears to be loaded with trichromes. I think “White Widow” looks that way.

@fishdude2 Ok…just show I know NOTHING!!! Lol

Looks like light burned tops. Not a desirable thing. Can cause reduction in cannabinoids. Might also cause loss of flavor/aroma.

thank you for the link, their buds look exactly like mine and when I look under my 60x glass there is zero damage the only difference is the color and amount of trichomes (more then double on whites parts). I’m very excited to try the results.

It’s interesting. I’ve found articles that say the buds are desirable and more potent, and articles that say the opposite. I guess there’s one sure way to find out. Smoke 'em.

Presence of trichs isn’t indicative of potency. It could be sparkly as heck and still have diminished cannibinoid content.

Let’s solve this once and for all harvest and dry/cure I’ll smoke and review product
