So you see what I'm saying. Been growing for years but this stumps me. The time and dates are exact as I log everything. None of my grows looked this far this soon especially with mature stigma. But you say 4 weeks hey? In between that time I'll keep an eye out for signs of amber. Aiming for energetic focused side of sativa. Couldn't help but sample some bottom feeders as to also focus energy on the colas. The high was quite speedy quick head and hand movements borderline intense but nice buzz. A tone down of 40 percent of that feeling would be what I'm looking for.☮

HOnestly you shouldn't be looking at trichomes yet or messing with the buds. Touching the buds damages the pistils and trichomes which can easily make you think a plant is ready when its not.

I'm still seeing white pistils, which usually means at least 3 weeks left. But if the non white pistils were damaged it might be more then that.

Its also vital to look at the trichomes from the sides, NOT THE TOP. When you look from the top, the bulbous head of the trichomes will magnify the opaque stalk under it. This will give a false impression that the trichome is "cloudy", when infact it is still clear, and needs weeks to mature still. If you look from the side of the trichome through the head it will give a more accurate idea of the resin condition inside.

It takes weeks for plants to mature, not days, so don't rush things. Its waaay easier to harvest early then it is to harvest late!
