you do that after you harvest its called hash
mmmh might work thats how it was done for years have a naked virgin run threw the fields and scrap the resin off but im pretty sure it was done right befor harvest

I'll rent you one, a BIG FAT one with LOTS of surface area to collect Keif. I'll let her go for a share of the hash.
Or we could invent new S&M games. We could beat our naked wives with the branches, then get really creative during the removal process
Sounds suspiciously like a plan to me!

Actually my original question was a serious one , question being, do the trichomes regenerate on a plant that is living. IF they do , would it be possible to just harvest the trichomes and let the plant continue to grow ? I know eventually the plant will die and need to be harvested , but wouldn't it be cool if there were a way ????
i was told at Oaksterdam University that "yes" they do regenerate. i have yet to try it.

Maybe the plant could be dipped in hot butter , and then ?????
Seriously, did they get the trichome resins off the plant by mechanical means of chemical means ????? Would that not be great if we could get two crops of trichomes ?
he was just blowing smoke. i don't believe it. he actually said "IF you could scrape off the trcihs, they would grow back." it's the "if" part i wonder about.

Not from my experience they don't. I have never tried scraping the trich's off the buds on purpose but many times have wiped leaves in the process of dusting the plant or to clean spider mite eggs off etc. After I have done that to a plant those leaves seem almost completely worthless for harvesting hash and do not grow those trichomes back.
Of course any shock to the plant during flowering is not good either, so probably a bad idea even if it did work because you'd likely cost yourself bud weight if the plant had to go back and regrow trich's on the outsode of the buds.

I pinch my buds for a smell... Then I rub the hash balls off my fingers and smoke em... If that qualifies as harvesting trichromes... IDK... But I recommend just waiting til after harvest and getting a silkscreen, or even better, a hash making washing machine... FDD can hook you up with one of those...

I wonder if by harvesting trichomes early will cause more than one to regenerate in its place and therefore increasing the potency??? Kind of a similar concept to topping just on the trichome level???
