Although it may not look it, there's actually quite a few witherd pistils on the cola. a large majority have begun to go slighty orangish/pink... a few are dark orange. and some are still ever so slightly green. The temp around the top of the plant (because of the lights) was alot higher, and i really would rather risk having just slightly under ripe bud.. than over ripe bud.. the line can be very fine between..just right and to late.

during the drying a slight curing takes place.. and there are slow dry methods that will cure it even more...

some will say to early.. in my opinion and due to circumstances.. i decided to harvest part of the plant.
