red hair=good high?

The orange hairs (pistols) that you are talking about are used in mating process of the cannabis flower. They are used by the female to collect the pollen of the male that is floating in the air to pollonate the flower and make the seeds. Sometimes it can help to determine the quality but ultimately you can not use them for your final judgement. The only true way to know is by smoking it. Hopefully this was helpful.

This brings up a question of mine. How about the hairs themselves, do they contain THC? If so, how much? Anybody have any info whatsoever on this? Thanks in advance. :) * SUPER FUCKING STONED RIGHT NOW*:rasta::stoned::rastasmoke::smokin:

actually having red hairs has nothing at all to do with the quality if anything the best bud i ever had did not have one red hair on it it was lime green with a shit load of crystals.

and thicker. The top cola should carry the most pistils. These pistils
are sticky too touch (do not touch them too much! they also contain
your much wanted THC) and begin to cover in resin over the flowering
period. The reason for the stickiness is that it is used by the female to
catch falling pollen. If the female plant is not pollinated she will try to
grow more sticky areas. Hence the results of a sinsemilla
crop........Bigger and Better Buds!

During the peak period of flowering the female pistils on the
flowerâ??s tips will swell up. When the swelling takes place the pistils
will begin to change in color. They will generally change from a white
to an orange tint to a red tint to a brown tint. All strains are different
but in general it is a white to red or a white to brown color change (It
is best to use the breederâ??s recommended flowering times for harvest
guidelines though). When she does this you are ready to harvest her
and sample your favorite herb.

hell yeah. the best bud i've had was medicinal from cali with no red hairs, but it was lime green with green hairs and covered (i mean really covered) with sticky crystals.

Red hairs are generally a good thing but I've had bud with a bunch of red hairs that didnt even get me very high.

You should try to keep your hair out of your weed, for sanitary reasons.

the red hairs dont mean a damn thing unless you are trying to grow.

on levels of importance .... crystals > hairs PERIOD!

thats in my short experience so... HOLLA!

Why are people completely fucking THICK? If you dont know what your talking about, DONT FUCKING TALK.

The hairs [pistils] mean NOTHING. The pistils have NOTHING TO DO WITH POTENCY, OR MATURITY OF BUD.


Even the crystalls arnt a good indicator of potency, coz if theres nothing in them, you've got nothing.
