TRICOMES - How Red

[4maggio]

I'm running my second run under LED light. The first I wasn't the most attentive and missed things like LED AFTERGLOW phenomena where the LED keeps glowing after lights out. I noticed afterglow 2-3d night of 12/12 looking for light leaks.. General knowledge says something wrong in household electrical panel with regard to the grounding of the panel. At this point I do not know if there is anything negative happening but they look great. But I'm here asking about the red trichome. I'm a take it to the max breeder recommendation and start looking for red vs cloudy trichs. 60x scope and 25-30% red is the cut.

But are the trichs under the LED light a different color red? These seem very dark red as opposed to the bright red I think of.
Am I over thinking this?

Not red per se more a honey color or amber......not clear or white essentially.

It might look more like brown.
It might never happen to.
Find another gauge, such as your calendar or the hairs.
Personally, if it says 8 weeks, then it's getting 8 weeks. There is no way it's passing 10. 9weeks would be an 8th longer. 10weeks is 25% longer. That's a plant that failed to meet expectations, so isn't worth your time. Or isn't what it should be, anyway.

I've read about brown hairs, could never get it.. they always looked different.
The red% trichomes has never let me down.. and it's never been before the breeders recommendation.
Dogzter.. mine have always been crystal clear, then milky white..
Now the reds... I've always seen bright red.. few dark ones but mostly bright red.. Honey? nope. But anything is possible with this plant..
