Pistils changing color already?

archiebuddha · #1 09-05-2008, 11:38 AM

Hey there. I am at day 40 of my Nirvana White Widow grow and the pistils on one of my ladies are changing color already. It looks like there are about 50% brown/red pistils. I know I should have about 25-30 more days before they finish, but is it possible that I just got a faster finishing phenotype? The other two Widow plants still have totally white pistils. They are all similar in stature and leaf structure. Is it normal for pistils to start changing this early? This particular plant has been nothing but trouble since the beginning of flower. Although the buds look healthy, are getting nice and big and are very stucky, it has struggled with Mag and Calcium deficiency (though it has since been stabilized) and I suspect this has something to do with the change in pistils. Am I right? What does it mean?

It is possible ,if grown from seed that you could have a pheno that finished slightly early, I have 2 pheno's of orange bud that does the same. But it could also realize it's stressed and could be trying to finish as soon as possible. Either way if it gets close to ripe,take it on down and let the rest mature.

Archiebuddha.... When Mary's hair starts getting dark early, it's a sign she has been under stress. This plant will finish it's cycle probably 10-15 days eariler than the others. Her yield will be slightly smaller, but the quality of her smoke can be just as good. Since, you have other girls still heading for the finish line, I'd partially harvest this one & enjoy some early smoke.
.
Don't waste time trying to nurse it along, so it can finish with it's siblings. Harvest the branches that contain the most (color changed hairs) and leave the ones that still look white on the plant. Experience has taught me, not to fight battles I can not win.
.
Hope this helps....
Keep it Real...Organic....
