Pistols still stretching, weeks to go IMO.
You don't judge a plant harvest time by pistil color, but they can aid in when to think about start checking trichomes. The pistils should be all brown/orange and starting to shrink back towards the calyx (where they come out of). I think you may be confusing them with trichomes. Trichomes are the tiny bits that make the overall plant look "frosty".Oh suprising! I thought that 70% of the pistils were already orange on this main cola. So I was thinking to cut down the main stem and then let the secondary flowers ripen longer.
Your right but the only true way is a microscope and check for clear transparency. Cloudy trichomes is too early and flat cloudy has gone too long.
