Congratulations on your harvests, awaiting the reveg results and grow
I can only hope my KC turns out as good as Zilla. The rains have started here, so I'm
going to have to get mine under some plastic and figure out how I'll spread her out
a little and support the limbs at the same time. I've a plan in my head, just hope it works out.
I just let her grow naturally so I have a 6 ft plus, very bushy Christmas tree with a zillion buds
I think next year I'll train her like you did. This one was supposed to be an auto, but when she
just kept going past her mid May date I moved her outside

Good Morning Lester! Hope ya have a great day!
Let all the pistils turn colour. If your plant is still producing white pistils, it means it is still ripening!
Lester, when I read this the first person that came to mind for confirmation was you. Is this a correct statement?
Thanxx Overlord...
Yes that is correct. All pistils should be red, shows maturity. BUT everybody likes different things. Some people like to smoke bud that are a little premature, right Les?
Your the man Lester, talented grower.
Fantastic retrospective update. That takes time. But I tell you, Lester, it was worth it.
amazing buds
It's not completely true, but it has its merits.
A lot of that is strain dependent. Pure sativas will just keep on growing and growing, even if that means foxtailing the hell out of the buds. So the trichomes could very well be the perfect ripeness, but if you are waiting for the all the pistils to turn brown, you may be waiting a long time!
On the other hand, if the pistils aren't whithered - than that means the calyx accompanying them is still alive and swelling, but that is not completely indicative of the chemical composition of your trichomes!
So, I mean, it's really hard to generalize things because the ripening of your fruit is based off 1) your specific medical needs and 2) the case-by case scenario presented by each unique plant....
In the case of my Zilla, the pistils were not all totally whithered when I harvested them. If I waited that long I would probably have seen a lot of bud-rot. The fact of the matter is, even though my pistils appeared mostly white when I harvested, the buds were ready to cut. To be honest, I go off how dense the buds are, if all your pistils are white and its still growing, but the buds are rock hard and dense and covered in frost, your pretty much good to go... there are many other factors at play, especially in outdoor gardening, which tell you when to harvest.
It's not just one sole factor that you rely on.
Glad you liked the info and it helped put your mind at ease. Stay relaxed monProfessor. Great info here. Especially. If you a newbie. I went with pistol color and trichome color on my first plant.
As for the jungle girl she has a lot of whit pistols, but tons of Amber trichomes, and very dense tops. Thank you for this info, as it makes my decision to harvest her much easier.
Good evening weed Lester. Nice show. Loved it. Happy Weedsday
great tribute post Les! Loved seeing them all again.
Thanks for the insight on when to harvest Lester I can understand the sentiment of just taking what you can get after the Roller Coaster of my growing season lol.
My unknown strains this year (Mama and Lucy, I named them lol) seem to wait a long time for the pistils to wither and turn red/brown, and even then they'll keep growing new white ones at the very tip all the time. Knowing this I'm probably going to be chopping my Mini Mama and Mini Lucy soon, even though their pistils are still mostly white.
But I usually have tried to wait for at least 1/3rd to turn red, and I always try to get at least a few ambers (and sometimes fail epicly) ... hmm. you have me pondering my methods lol. This is why I love visiting your journal that and the bud porn, your natural chill vibes, and the occasional tortoise pic.
And I agree with Teddy, what a nice reflective Force Flower update, thanks for taking the time to go back and share that for those of us (me) that haven't been here since the start, and were too foolish to go back and read the whole thing.
