wow.
Answer is right within this post. Although checking the trich's isn't all bullshit if you really know what you're looking for then it's ok. But only a good 5% of people on this site would know what they're after.. The rest just want to get high.
Thanks for this, this is incredibly useful. Thanks and + rep Bricktop.While the pistils of most strains will change color and recede by the time a plant is ripe that is not always the case. Some strains will still have all white or mostly white pistils when fully ripe. Matanuska Tundra is an example of a strain where most to all pistils will still be fully white and not receding when the plants are fully ripe.
When it comes to when to harvest, place more stock in trichome color than pistil color.
CANNABINOL (CBN)
Cannabinol is the primary degradation product of THC and increases in concentration with plant age. The concentration of this product in the bud is heavily dependent on the time of harvest. Harvesting the bud at a late stage also means that the concentration of CBN in relation to THC will be higher when compared to the peak of THC production. It is only mildly psychoactive and can cause "fuzzy head", drowsiness, disorientation and sleepiness in the smoker, properties that can be considered unpleasant in nature compared to the clear high of the THC.
But by all means, decide when to harvest based on what you are the most comfortable with.
Mine go white whats that mean mine don't look like any of them there like little white mushroom I bin waiting everyday I have got one or 2 with amber purple ly heads I'm talking about sugerhazeWhile the pistils of most strains will change color and recede by the time a plant is ripe that is not always the case.

Just give them plain water fot next 2 week.. no nutes ...
When the pods are swelling a d your hairs are being like eat up by the pods its ready I don't look at tri is or hairs no more you no when there right its instinct
I'm not saying don't use it in correlation if you choose. Problem each plant does different things. I've had some that were definitely mature but had almost no amber and maybe 40% were cloudy, the rest clear. New trichs are constantly forming afterall. But one irrefutable sign they are ready is when those calyxes have swollen and the hairs have receeded back into the flowers.
Exactly
trust me, just watch it. You're going to get anxious and keep telling yourself it's ready. But stay strong and patient. Keep watching her, and when she's truly ready. You will know it.
