So I am trimming to hang and dry an auto white widow that is just dripping with trichomes. I started out with a couple of bowls, one to put the sugar leaves in and the other one for the fan leaves because pretty much everything I ever read says their is not enough trichomes on the fan leaves to mess with.
I happened to have my handy dandy 60x pocket scope with me, so out of curiosity I looked at more than a couple of the fan leaves.
Admittedly they were not oozing trichs like the sugar leaves, but they sure seemed covered to me. Also, while not as sticky as the sugar leaves, they were sticky, so I assume that it was trichomes on them.
The only thing I could think of was looking at them under the 60x scope, they obviously did not have the mushroom shape on them, so maybe that would make a difference ?
It just seemed like a waste to mulch them. Even if there wasn't as much trichs on them as the sugar leaves, I started thinking that there is a whole lot more surface area......?
I was planning on making a tincture with the sugar leaves, so I decided to just go ahead and use the fan leaves also, couldn;t see how it could hurt anything.
But I did become curious about the trichs on the fan leaves.
Now when I harvested a rhino ryder not all that long ago, while the fan leaves did seem to have a small amount of trichs on them, it wasn't anything at all like the auto white widow, so I did not do anything with those.
Sure seemed like it would have been a waste on the auto white widow fan leaves tho.
