HEy guys

Iv been growing for about 6 months now and my plants are approx 1m 40 in height, while they are tall they are not very bushy yet there is still enough bud too please me. i have a total of 4 plants and they are all budding very well.

My question is when should i chop them, they have alot of white pistols with some brown pistols coming through, i heard from someone if i leave it too long it will wreck the bud??

Do the pistols stay there or do they form into the bud??

 

 

btw if you havent noticed i am a first time grower

 

please help me

cheers!!

Hi there ToKe Up when (i think) 70% of the white hairs have turned red she is just about done, it should no be too long now and thay will start to ripen up as the days are getting shorter.

Where in Oz are you? My plants are still putting on bulk and only just starting to flower. Don't reckon I'll be harvesting before May. I'm in SA and Summer took a while to kick in here. I was going to get a 20x magnifier this year - someone posted a bunch of macro-photos of trichomes on this site and the expert opinion seems that you should wait 'til the resin changes to an amber colour. Don't be impatient - if your harvest too early you might not let your plants reach their potential.

check this thread out, it will explain why you shouldnt go off pistil colour and when to pick.
