PenguHBanswered grow question 3 years ago I cannot give any advice on this one as I have not grown it, but my plants are behaving the same way - only about 60% pistils are curled but trichomes are already turning amber. I read you should always follow what trichomes show, pistils depend on genetics and light. Light stress can make your plants produce more pistils or additional buds on the top of existing ones, which can be misleading. Also check the lower buds - if they are ready, the whole plant is ready.
