So many white pistils

[JdMTB]

I have a gorilla glue auto nearly ready, there's about 5% Amber trichomes. But I still have many many white pistils on the buds, am I over watering at this point?

Is it just the genetics of this strain?

Thanks in advance.

The fresh fluffy light colored pistils tell me that plant has several weeks to go still. Where do you see amber - is that on the fan leaves or the calyxes?

When the large majority of the pistils have turned dark and crinkled up then she is getting closer to the harvest window. At that point it’s time to scope the trichs. Snip a small section of top calyx and lay it on the table for better scoping.

sure looks good tho.... btw’s welcome aboard!

I cut off a calyx from the very middle of the plant, the sugar leaf has some, but not much amber on the bud itself. I'll give it another week I think.

You are a long ways from harvesting, I would say more like 3-4 weeks, minimum.

Would definitely wait 3 more weeks. Still looks a bit early.

What is the date you switched the lights to a 12 hour on & 12 hour off schedule? Helps count the weeks and start to get a handle on when they should be ripe enough to harvest.

Plant is exactly 90days old today. Autoflower, 16/8 light cycle.

Ah, yes. I remember reading that it was an autoflower and then forgetting that. Since they start to go into flower on their own schedule do you remember when they started to show pistils? Does not mean that the plant is ready to harvest on some exact date but it does help give an idea of approx when.

It really does look like it needs 3 or even 4 more weeks.

Plants look nice, but at least another 3 wks if not more autos are funny that way, that's why I left auto alone, but plants need more grow time

Jd, if you haven't already I would hold off harvesting as everyone else has mentioned. The flowering times given on seeds is a guesstimate based on their prior grows but it isn't set in stone. Sure, you can harvest now; but you'll be losing some potency and probably quite a bit of yield as the girls like to bulk up right at the end.

Cool, I'll leave her alone For now, but I need the room very soon. Let's hope another week.
