I've got a lady who's basically frosted over with trichomes, but not a single pistil has changed color yet. I'm guessing this is just a strain issue and they'll start turning next week but I'd like to be sure.
Or... are there strains that don't change pistil color?
BTW, It smells awesome! :thumbsup::jointsmile::stoned:
Not sure, but I have seen amber trichomes with the pistils still white as ever.
You must look at the trichomes under magnification.
In general, the pistils will slowly turn brownish as the lady matures but that's not the case for all strains. Look at the trichomes for harvest. Also, I've found that even if I harvest a plant with all whiteish pistils, while it drys and cures the pistils turn brown. So don't worry, check those trich's!!!:stoned:

Short answer...
They will!
I know they will eventually, but I don't want to let the plant grow past optimum harvest time. From what I know, I should harvest once the trichs start to turn amber. but It would seem odd to me if the trichs were amber and no pistils had turned orange yet.Quote:
