Should I be pulling now?
I was planning waiting for amber trichomes to come out.
Would be good to know what went wrong for the next grow.

Foxtailing can be caused by a number of things like genetic makeup , heat stress, stress. Doesn't effect the quality any, just doesn't have the bag appeal either though.

Some strain, and sometime just some phenotype within a strain foxtail naturally without you doing anything wrong.

White pistils close to harvestHello growers! Thanks for your help. So I'm approaching harvest (yellowing leaves, mostly milky trichomes, fat buds) but many pistils are still white. Flowering is supposedly 7-9weeks, I just entered week 9. Waiting for more amber trichomes, should I wait to have orange pistils?Week 16

Bananas, WHAT DO I DO??????I’m into my 6th week of flower
My caramel strain has started shooting off what I believe to be nanners. I noticed a few days ago and have been plucking them but am noticing more coming out. I’m sure I’ve missed some but should I keep plucking and cross my fingers or just harvest?Buds. Other

Flowering/Preflowering/Showing Sex in Vegative stage?Today I noticed all my outdoor plants have pistils after being 3-5weeks outside. Is this normal and will they continue veg due to increasing days/temps? Also, could this be reversed with additional light? Currently in the 7th week of Spring with 14h light and 13h sunrise.5y ago

How to reduce yield? (without reducing quality)Can I prune down to 3 or 4 colas? When? Or better to let it grow normally and compost the extra? I've found it too easy to grow way more than I can use. Especially when I experiment with different varieties. I'm also thinking it might be easier to spot pests etc. with less colas?Buds. Other

Bad genetics or bad training?I’m a bit puzzled with this girl? She has started to preflower even though I have light schedule 19/5 and she’s a photoperiod. I have topped and lst her the same as all the other strains in the tent. Does anyone know what could have been the cause? Bad genetics?5y ago

Pistils turning brown?Noticed quite a few pistils have been browning. I’m not sure if this is a sign of anything? I kicked her into 12/12 about 3-4 wks ago, and I thought the budlets were looking good up until now. This is my first grow so I’m still learning, any help would be appreciated!Buds. Other
