purple trichomes showing up on Northern Lights

  1. I'm a little ways away on harvest and thought I'd take a look under a microscope. I was surprised to find 3 purple trichomes. The strain is northernlights. I have never seen this before; is this typical of northern lights or isit due to temperature, nutes, exct? The temp has gotten down to 55 F at night and up to 88 in the day. DWC with general hydro nutes.

    What does the purple mean in relation to ripeness?

    Also, what is your opinion on how close i am to harvest?

  2. Never seen purple trichs before but i would say prob just a mutant gene hope it smokes great for ya,as to the harvest time if ya want a more up trippy high harvest now while your trichs are still cloudy,if ya want a more relaxed down to earth high wait a few more days until you get about a 70/30 cloudy to amber mix and then take it as I enjoy something a little more upbeat I harvest mine while still mostly cloudy
