I had to cut all my plants down early this year for security reasons and they are currently drying slowly. There were no trichomes (read that twice), but they sure smell good!
Are there any beneficial substances in the leaves and vigorous new growth? I’m wondering if it’s worth making RSO with it.
No trichs? At all? The trichs are where the oil is. If no trichs, no oil.
However, I doubt there are zero trichs. There are 3 types of trichs, and some are extremely small. You should be able to extract some oils from your premature plants, if there are trichs. If there’s funk, there’s most likely trichs.
Maybe?
I took out my loupe and saw that all the leaves are covered in a fine white fur! But the stems, not so much.
And I washed the roots, but will clean them better.
I have decarbed it and ate it. I had no problems but yeah, I don’t advice it because I have also heard it can make your bowels not feel so hot. I tried it just to see a different way of ingesting so I don’t need to smoke with my severe asthma. Needless to say it was a bust for me as well.
