ak47 bud pistols turning brown to early

[spike234]

i'm growing ak47/ belladonna /cheese/dunk .all started 12/12 at the same time 4 weeks in all fed the same & under same lights . problem is the ak47 pistols are already turning brown . is this a problem ?

[m.g.]

no, many strains do that which is why it's never a good idea to use them as a guide for when to harvest...use the trichomes instead. they never lie...

Yes, pistilles mean nothing as far as maturity of the plant. The only way to know is to look at the actual THC. When the trichomes start going cloudy/amber is when you can think about harvesting without loosing potency.

m.g. and LIP are right about Gabby Johnson being right.

I grow AK. It's ready in about 55 days after 12/12. Use your pocket microscope ($8 at Radio Shack). Look at trichomes.
