Looks like bleaching to me

Hash tips is something I've never come across and not many people even seem to know about it
It seems to me someone got beaching and called it hash tips
those pictures just look like crowning buds that beached

Ok, I suggest reading that entire thread. The white under the trichomes is bleached plant material. It isnt solid trichomes like the idiot author states. Further, if we agree that chlorophyll is needed in the leaves/plant material to produce trichomes, then why would we want to bleach it out of the leaves?

Tons of sticky crystals is because of the strain and the entire rest of your grow has been good. I don't believe the bleaching has anything to do with making more of them. My KK's and Holy Grail Kush ( KK x OG#18 ) are just as loaded with crystals.

I'm not convinced. I could be wrong. And I'll allow myself to learn about it. But so far I believe it's not what we want. Do read the rest of that thread though too. And research some more.

ok, you have some serious bleaching going on there. Your led's are too close. That's why those bud tops are bleach white. Wish you had shot a pic sooner.

I run in hydro, so I don't have to take any time to flush per se. But I go by the trichs. I like an upiddy high, so I let only about 5-10% get amber. My last batch went 75-82 days.

I'd really like to see a couple pics stepped away from the plants to gather the effect of your mainline. Where I normally post a guy has an awesome journal going using that method. But they changed the name to fluxing, in an effort to shy away from mainlinings other connotations.

You can tell it's just bleached buds because you can still see tints of green in them.

Hash tips are just some idiots way of saying they are doing something better than someone else.

I don't believe it'll have a negative effect but it could.

Okay, here we go...
"Hash Tips" are not real, it was a sales gimmick that Hydroponics Hut used to help sell their brand of LED lights.
What they had originally pictured on their site was a pic of a bleached out bud, that had built up an abnormal amount of trichs on the pistils.
This caused those pistils to turn brown and stand out, thus making them look like tips of hash growing from the plant.
Fast forward to now (2 years later) and we can see how most people didn't understand what they were looking at in the first place, and confusion has set in, where some folks now think that bleached buds are actually hash tips.
Thus is the danger of false advertising on the internet, it lives on long past it's usefulness, as even Hydroponics Hut no longer discusses hash tips in their advertising.

As for threads about hash tips, yes, they exist.
But try reading past the first page and you'll see that the thread quickly loses steam as more and more people point out the obvious falsehoods about bleached buds and hash tips.
As for hash tips, no, they do not exist.
