red hairs???

JQuick · Mar 4, 2011

i though when your plants pistols started to turn brownish red that it was close to being done, some hairs on my plant are turining that color but theres no way its almost done, around 2 months into flower and the buds are very small, what else could this b

2 months in.... it's natural.
They'll continue to turn over time. Can take time still from the first pistels turning... just because you see em turning doesn't mean its near ready, could be another month or more.. this depends on the strain.
Knowing when they are ready is a combination of things... pistells being only 1... check tric colour too.
Sounds to me like it's all normal... it's just a waiting game.. sure they'll fatten out soon.

Pistil color has almost nothing to do with them being done. Pistils constantly change color from the first day they appear to the day you chop. The only real way to tell is the trichomes. I have red/orange pistils a week into flower, but I know it's not ready. Pay little to no attention to them to truly gauge your plants, they mean next to nothing, except for appearance.

damn cuzzo, rob somebody for $20 and get some more warm cfls. Your buds are turning red because of it's lack of energy. there are more red pistils towards the bottom where there is less light, right? if so. then it just needs some more light.

take a pic of that when you can, It's most likely genetics if that's the case.

Hillcrest · Mar 4, 2011

Personally...for me Northern Lights ROCKS any strain.
Grown it for over 16 yrs. Sensi seeds

...... the other breeders just don't even come close with there NL for me.
