I have four different strains growing. 1 bubble berry clone, which is all colas, but the pistils or trichomes (not sure which term applies) are barely turning color. I have three other strains that were grown from seed. One of the strains (an indica) is flowering, but already has blazing hot pink pistils or trichomes and is nowhere near cola(ing) yet. Lastly, I have a couple sativas that seem to be the slowest growing out of the lot. This is the first time I've grown personally, and the plants are beautiful...I'm just not as knowledgable as I'd like to be about the gardening part.
My questions are:
What causes the colors of the pistils to turn?
How do I know when to pull?
How long should you cure for?...Does it depend on the bud itself?
If I could get any insight, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks
