Hey guys!
Trying to figure something out right quick. So I started growing an ATF seed back in early march [was lucky to find a seed in an 1/8th I bought back in November]. I actually got super lucky cause the seed turned out to be an auto flower / feminized seed. So about a month in it started flowering on its own and now I'm realizing it's gonna be done very soon. Approximately 20% amber trichs, but only about 10% of the pistils are orange. About a week ago I found out I may have to leave town in late June, but that's exactly when I thought I'd be cutting it down. So, I have a two part question...
1. Is it possible the plant will be ready to harvest before all of the pistils recede and turn orange/purple? I almost have always waited for the hairs to turn at least 80%, but typically they turn before I see so many amber trichs, but this plant had been far from normal for me and the trichs are getting to where I'm typically happy enough to cut em down [30-50%].
2. If I should wait for all the hairs to go amber [for best quality], would it really be that much worse if I cut it down in 2 weeks anyway, so that I can cure before I leave town?
Sorry if that's too much or not enough information. I've attached pictures and can always answer any questions you might have.
Cheers,
