i have a large plant green crack sativa well some of the buds seem to be done and most are not but a couple of large buds have around 60% red colored hairs so can i cut these and let the rest grow or should i just leave it alone? :leaf:

With that said, if your try a sample it couldn't hurt...:fire: (since my boy dark gave you the responsible answer, I figured I would play devil's advocate and appeal to your temptation and the desire for instant gratification...yea, I was stung as a child...†LOL†)

go by trichomes and swelling, not the pistil colors, that plant looks nowhere near ready imo, at least a month or more.

just wanted to be a little more specific and helpful since my answer as to when they will be ready and the signs was a bit vague I dont know if youve ever seen this before, but its from fdd's harvest tutorial and illustrates the difference quite well. he's been growing for a long time and personally just goes by the swelling and leaves hooking upwards and getting all crispy and doesnt need to check his trichs, i would still advise that you still check the trichomes before you harvest however. heres the info i was talking about, and a link to the thread if you want to read/learn more. I didnt write the guide and all credit goes to fdd,- https://www.rollitup.org/harvesting-curing/28072-harvest-time-tutorial.html
"we will start with ripeness. most people say to check your trichromes with 30X magnification. i have other ways. when buds are done they look "done". the appearance of the bud changes. the leaves start to hook upwards and become hard and crispy. the calyxes will swell and the hairs will turn brown. you can see a golden tinge to the bud leaves. this is the amber crystals. they start to turn amber on the leaves first.



not ready..........





ready.......






notice the difference? it's pretty easy to see once it occurs. :mrgreen:"
