After looking with now more information and a closer eye, I see what you mean where it seems you have some dissolving. The spot of lots of new growth right underneath the big green leaf at 1 o'clock in the first comparison set is where I notice it the most. That's the dissolving there, right?Okay it's a bit late for a Wednesday update but I did want to get some inconclusive pics up of the 2:9 70% iso spray's effects on trichomes.
I tried my damnedest to not move the scope after I took the before pics but the slightest breeze or maybe the spray seems to have moved the scope a tiny bit, so I'm not sure we can draw any conclusions here.
This is before, including a winged aphid:
And here is the 30-minutes-after-spray pic, where the bud probably moved .0001 inch:
Not sure if that's definitive enough so I will try it again later this week. And since I have them, here are some other pics taken of the trichomes after spraying:
Like I said, not enough for an answer, so we're still on the journey!
In other news, I ran 16 gallons of tap water through the Doug's Varin pot today, followed by 2 gallons of nutes. We'll see!
I hope all is well with y'all.

You'll have them soon on those autos.
Thanks marcus!
Spacey with a good body buzz seems like a well-balanced hybrid to me! And the Purple Urkle should lean indica so there will be a bit of everything! Maybe there's some THCV in that DV too!
So given that there are a number of products you already know work and will not dissolve the trichs, why even do this experiment? Are you trying to find a more effective method to kill pests using the (hopefully) proper iso/water mix? I guess alcohol works well to kill bugs?
One more - that winged aphid - is that what my crawlies would have turned into eventually?
