Pistils wont change color

[Faddenator]

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:

Awesome, I know all about the trichome colors in relation to harvest and what not, I'll give them a good look tomorrow. I just didn't know if harvesting when EVERY SINGLE pistil is still white would fuck up the smoke.

Thanks guys :jointsmile:

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.

how long you been flowering? and not just 12/12 cycle, how long has the plant actually been developing flowers?

A picture would be really helpful right about now.

Thanks guys but I totally just jumped the gun... finally got some high res pics today and the trichomes are definitely still nice and clear. Also noticed some pistils JUST starting to turn. So yeah, posted this two days too early :stoned:.

Im still posting the pictures so you can check it out.
