Part by part harvest

If the pistil is white, how is the calyx big enough to see trichome on it?

Your supposed to check trichome on calyx only, but if the calyx isn't formed...

I never said to check the tippy top of the new growth or leaves for the trichs.

If you wait for every single calyx to totally form and look at trichs there's still 95%+ of the plant way past it's prime.

If you still think you're right I'll let you still keep thinking you're right.

I guarantee if he harvests that top now, it will not be @ peak effect.
10 days - 2 weeks from this point would be a good time to check trichome on the calyx

So this is the top cola, can I chop it down or wait?

Calyx don’t look swollen yet I would say at minimum give it another week

@quiescent If your saying that plant is ready, I'll let you keep harvesting premature bud

I agree it's not ready but looking at pistils to determine when something might be ready is terrible advice.

Shouldn't put words in my mouth clown.

You came here specifically arguing with my opinion that it's not ready...
What else do you mean?

There are many signs I go by to determine ripeness, trichome being LAST.
Swollen calyx, fading leafs, then scope trichome

And I guarantee you're not harvesting them at the peak of their effects if you're just going by pistils. For decades and decades the only commonly accepted way to tell if you're harvesting at the right moment has been trichomes.

Looks like you should take some of your own advice
I never said I ONLY go by pistils...only you claim I did
