[Cheeseyfeet]

Hi ppl sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place but basically I have blue cheese 9 weeks into flower but pistils still white anyone grown this before or have any advice cheers in advance

 

[bluedreamzy]

check the trichs bro only way to know when to harvest..

If the pistils are white, its not ready.

Dont even bother looking at the trichomes until the rest of the plant looks ready.

Hey Cheeseyfeet, I used to have that problem with my BF's BC until I got enough light into my flowering tent, then they started to finish in 7 weeks. What kind of light are you using? How far is it from the plants? And whose strain are you running?

 

[Cheeseyfeet]

Am using 600w hps lights are about 12inches away but the bc was cuttings so not sure who's strain checked the trichs with a x60 loupe a little milky but pistils still mostly white can't work it out

Here is some pics

600 at 12 shouldn't be the problem. Maybe it's a 10 week strain/pheno? What's your temps? There seems to be something going on, (rolled leaves, foxtailing and the purple fans), but she still looks pretty tasty.

You must be a super noob...I have had a few different strains finish with white pistils.Cloudy and amber trichomes, 8.5 weeks.Done and done...Pistils dont really mean anything, they can turn amber if you touch it the wrong way even.

Temps on a fan controller 27c day 16 night but ill give it another week and check the trichs. I thought with the strain being a blue u get the purpling of leaves but am a bc first timer so I don't know thanks anyway franjan

 

[Cheeseyfeet]

Mattemil I am aware that some strains do have white pistils when finished but being a bc 1st timer I wasn't sure but I do know its all about the trichs dude

some strains the pistals dont change as fast if much at all until curing.. at 9 weeks id def start checking trichs.. i guess i dont know how long blue cheese is suppose to flower

27c, 16c night, that's why. With a bigger drop the flowering time will be slightly lengthened, if your days 27c, I'd say 20-22 would be around optimum. Have you got any way to check the trics dude?

 

[Cheeseyfeet]

Hi nutty I have checked the trichs with a jewellers loupe 60x and I would say they are 70 milky and 30 clear but I am not after a couch lock hit just a euphoric high how long do u think before they will go amber

This is total horse shit. Trichome maturity is the only thing that matters.

This is true, but only CALYX Trichome Developement...You guys keep looking @ fucken sugar leaves to determine

I agree with MYOB, How does a CALYX that hasn't even fully developed yet have cloudy Trichome?
Been checking Trichomes on Calyx for years, and never seen an amber(or even fully cloudy) trich on a calyx with a white hair on it.

I personally don't give a fuck if everyone on the planet harvest early, I just won't be smoking their shit.

 

[Nutty sKunK]

As kindnug pointed out make sure you're taking a few peeps around your plant on bud sites instead of one place. Well 70% cloudy I'd say you're not far away from getting the most uplifting hit from your MJ. I'd say 10 days and your at maximum uplifting but go by the trics as you know mate

Also bear in mind that after you chop they still develop (moving towards more amber) also they become more potent as THC is most physcioactive when it's PH neutral, basically when it's dry.

Hope this helps

The whole "clear/cloudy=energetic, amber=couchlock" thing is wrong. It just gets repeated over and over.

If you want a more energetic high, get a strain with these characteristics.

You aren't manipulating the high by harvesting early or late, you are saying "I want less than the maximum amount of THC in my buds"

ahahahahaha. ive seen many strains with pistols thet stay white even after drying. some turn cream colored,yellow, or dont change at all. its imposible for someone to generalize about all stains.

I would like to see a picture of a plant ready for harvest with a noticeable amount of white pistils.

Anything to justify an earlier harvest.
I've never seen a Calyx with amber Trichomes and white pistil, unless you've been squeezing buds...
