I am not a novice grower but something like this happend first time.
Tricomes are already mostly milky and some even amber but the 50% of pistils are still white. Usually the pistils are first one to go brown and then you w8 for the tricomes.
Has anything like this ever happend to someone else? And the main question is should i cut or should i w8?
I disagree. Trichomes come in waves of new clear ones that start ripening as the plant makes new calyx. I check trichomes on the calyx not the bud leaves(they turn early) after 80-90% of the pistils have died back and the flowers are finished growing bigger.
Most growers cut weeks early in my opinion. And let plants yellow way too soon.
It's a bit of a nit pick, but disagree with what? What I do, or what the tradition is?
Usually, with the the natural progression of senescence the bracts will swell and engulf the withering stigma. Ive personally never seen a plant ripen without withered hairs, Infact 99% of the plants I've grown, the hairs are almost not even very visible anymore by the time the plant is ripe. though I have heard of some sativas that the hairs dont darken, but they do change color somewhat.
My question is what strain is it and how many weeks has it been flowering so far?
Yeah mine usually start to turn colour and wither around week 6-7. By the time they're ripe though... Hairs? What hairs?
This cookies cut is a bit of a dramatic example but when it's done, it looks like it's got almost no hairs on it at all.
