Those arnt trichomes those are pistols there is still 4 weeks left on those... 💎 Trichomes: The Frost ​Trichomes are the microscopic appendages that give the plant its "sticky" feel and "frosty" look. They aren't just for show; they act as a defense mechanism against UV rays, wind, and pests. ​What they do: This is where the magic happens. Trichomes produce the terpenes (smell) and cannabinoids (potency). ​Harvest Indicator: Growers look at the "heads" of the trichomes under a microscope. ​Clear: Not ready yet. ​Milky White: Peak potency. ​Amber: The plant is starting to degrade into a more sedative state. ​ Pistils: The Hairs ​Pistils are part of the stigma, the female reproductive system. If you’ve ever seen a "hair" sticking out of a bud, that’s a pistil. ​What they do: Their sole job is to catch pollen drifting through the air. If they catch it, the plant starts producing seeds. ​Harvest Indicator: While less accurate than trichomes, they provide a macroscopic cue. ​Young: Straight, white hairs. ​Mature: They begin to curl and turn orange, red, or brown as the plant nears the end of its life cycle. ​Why it matters ​If you are trying to determine the perfect time to harvest, always trust the trichomes over the pistils. Pistils can change color early due to heat stress or even just being touched, whereas the clarity of the trichome resin is the true chemical roadmap of the plant's maturity. ✌️ 💚

Just looked through your diary, looking at the plant I'd say minimum 3 weeks left. Pistils are still developing so you haven't got to the swelling stage yet. Don't worry about length of time it takes, breeders usually give you a guide of how long it should take but usually they are shy by a few weeks. Wait another 2 weeks and post again on questions.

Hey 👋, Die Anzahl der verbleibenden Wochen variiert stark nach deinen Präferenzen. Willst du im hoch Peak ernten, dann ernte wenn deine Trichome größtenteils milchig sind, mit dem geringsten Anteil an durchsichtigen & Bernstein farbenen Trichomen. Hast du Bock auf couchlock und viel Masse, dann warte… die nehmen in den letzten zwei Wochen sehr viel Masse zu. Vorallem bei 420 hast du eigentlich recht realistische herstellerangaben als Richtwert — bedeutet im Klartext: kannst dich auch an diese halten +1-2 Wochen… dann solltest Du den erntezeitpunkt haben. Hoffe das hilft 🤞🏽👊👌
