I have a miniature GDP plant that is in straight mud (hardpan clay). The whole plant is only few grams (the Gram Daddy). Under a foot in size, and at least 40% red hairs.
I have another GDP, both clones from the same place bought at the same time, only the other has good soil. The good soil one has maybe a couple red hairs.
I know going by the trichomes is the rule, but all I have is a hand held microscope and with it's location and size as well. I forced a migraine just by looking for a couple seconds. The drops at the end looked white, but I really can't say for sure.
The bottom "nugs" are all red hairs. I know plants aren't normally ready for harvest at the end of August, but this hasn't been able to do any growing so I think it has just gone and focused on what it could do.
I can't imagine it continuing to bud.
My camera is a complete piece of shit, but I can try if need be.
I would say it's not done yet.. I've grown purps b4 & I let all the hairs turn bright Orange then wait a extra week.. Then pick.. Ur rite it won't grow anymore buds but it will let the crystals mature & get more Stoney & GDP should b mega stoney
It's outdoor, but I got it on the 4th of July. So it's been over 8 weeks, but it's been getting more then 12 hours.
It's sister has more to go for sure and other then the clay preventing it's growth and a meter between them, pretty much same conditions. It's only 1 or 2% red hairs.
you put it otuside in july i would say it has till october before its done, defintly late september at least. when did you see it start to go into flower?
