Thank you very much for that information dufous. This is the first time I've noticed the ovary open, exposing the calyx, usually I just notice them swelling. I need to pay better attention. Thanks again.The two round things are the calyces. The pistil grows out from the top of the calyx. If the pistils receive pollen, the calyx is fertilized and grows a seed.
That is interesting, I had assumed it was because of the Nepalese influence (looks like thaibliss' bunglung nepal). Our temperatures stayed between 95-105 during most of veg and flower, only in the past week has it cooled. I had green calyxes and white hairs. Hairs turned orange, then withered dark brown. The calyxes turned purple in the past 5-6 days, which I think is due to the low temperatures dropping to 50-53F, as HxP simultaneously developed purple on top of her petioles. I agree with you, foggy definitely has the most beautiful PS on here.Foggy, can I ask what general area your growing?
You, by far have the best looking plant of p.s. Vermontman said that the pistils purple with more intense light.
You must be growing in the sun!
Awesome looking purple Satellite. She's the one I wish I had.
My outdoor p.s. has-been hanging to dry. Buds dry enough to smoke, but needs a cure taste-wise.
I like the buzz! So far anyways. I usually get a good buzz the first few days of any new strain, but then quickly build tolerance.
P.S. under 600hps will be done soon! Another week or so.
Amber starting in last pic.
Heya Canna. Good stuff. Looking frosty!!
I've seen those black dots in the trich heads before in my outdoor stuff. Do you know what causes that?
I always guessed it happened during periods of high temps.

they're pretty pronounced in the 2nd and 3rd pics...look at the upper portion of the calyx in the 2nd pic for example...
To me they always looked to be a trich that had some degradation product that was eventually encased by new production after recovery. A black blob in the middle of a clear captitate head.

Yes, I have definitely seen what you speak of. Pretty sure your right.
Like on the last pic.
But, I think the pic you are referring to it's just reflection of something dark. I had to position the phone and clip-on microscope just right. All the trichs off to the side would show a dark reflection, and the ones on opposite side would reflect gold because of yellowish lightbulb in my bar.
I got all excited at first because I thought most of the trichomes were Amber. Lol.
But yes, the trichomes will definitely encase little particles and such.
