I'm growing indoors under a 400 watt hps light.
The light is about 2 feet from the plants, and there isnt excessive heat.
You say when the pistils turn amber?
Maybe I'm confused.... Are the pistols the same thing as trichomes? The little "sugar" pieces all over the leaves and buds?
I thought the pistils were the 1/4" long white hairs that turned red to form the hairs on the bud....
Are you saying about 75 percent of these "hairs" should be red before I harvest?
The hairs are actually starting to turn orange, and dry up a little bit. This is normal?
