I am currently growing a single plant, which i tied down during its early life. It has been flowering for about 3 weeks now and i think i am seeing trichome development but i am not sure. I have 2 pictures but you have to either zoom or look really hard to see what im talking about (had to use phone camera). i am a beginner and just want to know if my plant is developing trichomes, i didnt think it would develop any till late flowering.
You can for sure start getting trichs early in flowering. It depends on the strain and how happy your plants are how early they will start glistening. It looks like a nice little plant you have there. Keep up the good work.
