Question about harvest
No no no.
The very question makes me wonder how you have "smoke from your last harvest".
First, "trics" as you say, are the CRYSTALS of THC filled resin glands. Your plant MUST be harvested at the point when these "trics" are standing straight up and have a little mushroom head! The coloring of these "trics" when ready for harvest will turn from clear to milky white. When they are all "amber", the THC has decomposed and your bud is ruined.
"Pistils" are the HAIRS on a female plant. Another indication of when to harvest.... Pistils will cover the plant throughout the flowering process, especially in the last two weeks. This is also when the pistils will begin turning red/brown/orange....
When 75% of these "PISTILS" have changed color from white to red/orange/brown.....
TIME TO HARVEST
If you attempt to grow your plant any longer than that you will ruin your crop completely.
Marijuana's life cycle is based on an annual routine:
germinate, seedling stage, vegetative stage, flowering/buding stage, DEATH
In other words, when the plant shows you sign it's at the end of it's life cycle, HARVEST.
The hairs change color for a reason - they never get pollen from males and retract. When the plant begins to retracts all the hairs, that means you will no long gain ANYTHING by letting plant continue to grow, you will only lose quality/quantity.
HARVEST FOOL!!!!
Remember:
Trichome - crystals/resin/GOOD STUFF THC!!!!!
Pistil - Female hair starts off as white!
Calyx - The cone-shaped pod surrounding the "pistils"!!
Get your vocabulary down when you ask a silly question!
