one of my plants has turned all orange/red (hairs) yet it is at least 3/4 weeks from flowering -how have i managed this screw up?
its using a 400w Hps and in soil - ph and moisture are all ok yet bud appear ready but vastly undersize?
What you've written here makes no sense.
Is the plant in flowering or not? Do you mean 3/4 weeks to harvest and the plant is in flowering?
If it's in flowering and you've still got 3-4 weeks to go to harvest (see how people are having to assume and second guess because you've not made it clear?) it's either been pollinated, you've got your counting wrong or pistils dying isn't a sign of peak ripeness for this particul strain.
Without more information it's all guesswork.
