Was not sure what forum to post this on. But this is one of the best boards opn AFN and my issue might be related to light.
Sorry no pictures but I can get some if necessary.
I read up on trichome development and all the factors involved. Light being one. Temp and humidity as well. Genetics. Invoking stress is good. Nutes can make a difference.
I have 3500 autocobs, one per plant basically. About 20 inches from the canopy now that I'm in full flowering. I also have 600 watt HPS that I thought would help with getting some frost on. But they are cool tubes with glass that i can't remove. And I read that glass blocks UVB light, which is good for frost. But I'm assuming peeps using 3500 autocobs only are getting great frost. So not sure why my lighting would be the issue even if I can't remove the glass. If anything, maybe I have too much light.
My tent has been about 25C/77F lately. Couple of short burst where the temp was higher too. Humidity never above 45% and averaging 40% for the last few weeks. I run lights 24x7. And my tent temps and humidity don't vary much. Its pretty constant.
Plants are DP Think Different at 60 days and Meph Skywalkers at 49 days.
Nutes are Sensi AB Bloom and Overdrive and Carboload.
That's a good summary of the relevant factors I can think of.
Maybe I just need to give it more time. Maybe I don't have an issue other than i don't know about when frost shows up and I'm being impatient.
