Dark: So do you think it is ill-advised to go dark at the end due to the CBC increase? I suppose if one were planning to water cure, that might be less of a factor (if CBC is one of the water soluables... I'm not sure if it is). But we don't want to gunk up our high with miscellaneous cannabinoids.

Pistils: I think we are actually in agreement on this. *chuckle*

About them drying up early... Yes, I've seen this happen. But I'm wondering if they ever dry up late - As in, by the time once notices changes in the pistils, peak trichs have passed? If this is a possible scenario under certain conditions, then pistils should be completely disregarded as a sign of the end of blooming/plant sex life.

You make an excellent point about disseminating information that is less-than-accurate. Hopefully folks will read my whole post (that trichs are key) and not start chopping immature buds based upon the pistils alone... I'd hate to contribute to any wasteful weed practices! *horrified look*

As for that headache... *passes you a tasty smoke*

Thanks for the smoke.....:jointsmile:

To answer you Q: Yes it is possible that a large percentage of the pistils may never change color or die off. Nature will always find a way to survive.

For example in KBS growing you keep the RH humidity for the first part of the flower cycle. You don't start dropping it until the last month so that means that the temperature will keep most of the pistils viable even to the end of the last week before they die off. You do get a few colors in your buds and that does look cool. I assume other growing styles can keep the pistils viable to the end as well but it's the true KBSers that have it down to a science.
Zandor Reviewed by Zandor on . Almost Done Need Help How do I know when my babies are done blooming? What are the things I need to look for please be specific I'm in the 8th week of blooming? Should I use distill water for a week now and than chop it done as in no more nutrients? And Can I chop down the branches that are done or I have to chop the whole thing down? I'm sorry this is my first grow and I'm almost done I'm so excited. Rating: 5
