Spraying anything on it? Some IPM stuff causes pistils to brown prematurely

Its a sign that your buds are starting to mature. You are getting to the final stage just before harvest.

What happens is as the buds mature the pistils turn brown or orange, usually when 80% of the hairs have turned colour is a good indicator that its nearly ready. Yours are some way off.

Hey friends! My middle plant is tacoing and shooting out a lot of white pistils (only plant doing so and is directly under sf4000) . Is this a light issue, phenotype or mainly a ph and nutrient ovefeeding issue as other taller plants aren’t displaying these signs. TIA!

Too many buds because of LST? A yield full of popcorn buds??
Should I cut off more buds to get a higher yield? I am afraid, that she will develope too many popcorn buds. Or is she looking allright and I can get a good yield without stressing her any more? (She is in her third flowering week)

Now at day 70, which should be typical for her to be ready for harvesting. The trichomes are about 20% milky. Don't want to wait to long and lose too much cbd. Should I taking the tops now and leave the popcorn buds another week, or feed/flush and wait a week?
