Quick Question about flowering

Hey everyone,
So I've got a few beautiful girls in week 4-5 of flower. All of the pre-flowers where the branches meet the stem have hairs that are fully orange/brown. It looks like a piece of a mature bud.


As this is my first time with plants in flower i'm not too sure. I was under the impression all of the hairs were supposed to stay white until almost the end.

Also there are 1-2 hairs turning brown elsewhere. Nowhere close to all the hairs, finding one is like a needle in a haystack.

Older flowers mature but don't harvest based soley on the hairs as tgey are only part of the variable.

Key points of harvest are...

1) Calyxes begin to swell.

2) Pistils turn from white to orang to a darke reddish/orange brown and receed way back into their respective calyx.

3) Trichomes turn from clear to cloudy/milky.

Ideally you would want to harvest when 100% of the trichomes are milky/cloudy but this isn't always possible,so more like 90% milky/cloudy and 10% clear or amber.

Clear trichomes = Immature

Cloudy/Milky trichomes = Mature

Amber trichomes = Degrading THC

Get a good 60x to 100x scope to check the trichomes.
