Is there any way to keep the hairs on your buds (or i think the correct term is pistols) white? The brown color is not so pleasing to the eye ya know?

I am aware this is part of the "natural" cycle, but is there a way around it???

Thanks in advance for any helpful advice!

uhhh....no. Hairs turn color as the plant matures. Go ahead and harvest early before they turn...only way I know, and that is a losing game.

I LOVE to see the orange/brown/red hairs... not seeing the beauty in that is the same as not enjoying those black grill marks on the steak. The marks make the meat..

KNow what I mean Jean? :)

Those white hairs might look good on the plant but when you harvest the bud you're not gonna want hairy bud. Noobs to smoking think bud with a lot of hairs is good, but really that means it was picked premature. You want those hairs to recede back and turn to nice plump, resinous calyxes. Take some pictures to savor how they look, but be ready to smoke some chron a$$ bud when you let the pistils die back and make real buds.

Oven?? Why the F would anyone want to do this? It is natural most pistills will turn either orange or red also depends on the strain some strains have like pink hairs, purple hairs, yellow, orange, red, even white. I think you need to find a strain with that in its genes other ways no way to make them stay white.
