Crystals gone after drying.

[typ3ss]

I have bubblicious strain from nirvana when i first cut it, it was soooooo frosty. THen i layed them all down on paper bag and in 3 days all the crystals were gone... Now its all orange hairs with barely any crystals.

What happened?

hmm maybe it was just powder mildew? haha jk but seriously, everything i've read says that trichs will show more as the plants matter dries and shrinks. BUT maybe u cut too soon and ur good sized buds and unripe trichomes shrunk and all the hairs stayed. I think we need a bit more info and maybe before and after pics if u have them.

Temp was 70s, yeah i hung it upside down. Humidity unknown. I harvested at a good time.

Does curing produce more crystals?

Take them out and look at them under a fairly bright light.I bet they're still there.They'll sparkle.

Dude, check your closet for Trichome Faeries. I'll bet they had something to do with it.

They change amber. Check with a microscope they should look like little mushrooms once they're dry

Rough handling knocks some off, so don't touch the buds until you're ready to smoke them!
