be done with the season?
aka
can you check the triches and determine you should harvest even tho the pistils are still mostly white?
or are they pretty much in sync?
hairs will mostly be brown as triches are mostly amber

Also
if you harvest when they are mostly white hairs, will the final product still retain the white hairs?

normal to see new white hairs late in flower, some long-finishing varieties will do it for months ... judge your harvest time by checking your trichomes under a 30x microscope, if you can ... browning of pistils doesn't mean much ... temps, humidity, genetics, can all contribute to that ... I can't say as I've noticed many white hairs in a dried bud, I just smoke 'em :jointsmile:

I wonder how it would look

just checked my triches
im surprised at what I saw!
compared to my previous grow
80% of hairs were brown by the time the trichomes were about 70% cloudy
my current grow, its about 95% white pistils and already at about 60% cloudy
I think I'll start my 2 week flush now :)

I have harvested with white hairs and they will turn colors when they are dried and cured they wont stay white, what percent amber do you cut at?

usually 10-15% amber
do you recommend higher?

yes, I think now, would be a good time to start the 2-week flush ... if 60% cloudy trichomes now, two weeks to achieve 10%-20% amber would seem very do-able :thumbsup:
