Thanks for the info. I tend to like the more upity head high than the body couch lock high. I've got a few more that will be ready in several weeks though. I'll let them go longer after pistols change color. But usually how long after most pistols turn amber does it take for the trich's to start changing color? Can it be weeks?
it kinda depends on the strain and so on, some strains i had went pistol amber quite short after developing early stage buds. The best way to rly know when the time is right is to buy a cheap handheld microscope, they go for under 20$, if u are lucky u can find them allot cheaper then that even.
Chop of a part that looks mature (bud that is) and look at it both with and without the microscope and u will see what u need to know.
here's a pic for ya:
there is allot of pics with weeks atached to them, dont listen to week..If the seedshop say they got a flowering period between 10-12 weeks for example u should have them under close supervision starting from 10 weeks into flowering until u get the trich color u want.
Dont be afraid to take sample from every plant, even from diferent parts of the same plant.
If u dont have a current stash u can allways just do like me and speed dry them in the owen for 4-5 hours, or just let them dry naturally for a few days in a dark drawer and there u go...a litle taste of what u are going to get =)
This pic i got here is probably the most potent stage of up high trichs, could be a bit more milky tho:
if u'd harvest this within 3 days up to a week it would probable be what u are looking for.
