Can a plants hairs turn all red, before the trichomes are ready? I'm 4 weeks, 2 days in to flower! This strain calls for 8-9 weeks flower before harvest! I have had a lot of red hairs show up in past few days. Trichomes are what I will base harvest times. Is there a chance harvest will come prematurely? Am I corrected about harvest time for Blue Berry? Any feed back is good feed back, so any feed back? Here is a pic from time of question! Thanks

yes, hairs shouldnt be used as an indicator of ripeness, only trichs can determine if its done. purple kush's hairs turn completely brown before the trichs are even remotely finished.

Wondering the other day if a plants can be finished while pistils are not browning much. I never go by pistils, But after scoping a plant that thricromes appear to be about 60-70 % cloudy. Yet there are very few brown pistils.
