Welcome! Good people, great advice and discussions.

Hi Everyone, just thought this was interesting... A female cannabis flower generally has two pistils that include the reproductive anatomy: the ovary, style, and stigmas. The ovary, where a seed develops once fertilized, is at the very base of the pistil. The stigmas are covered with sticky hair-like structures, called stigmatic papillae, that capture pollen and transport it down the pollen tube, through the stigmas and style and into the ovary. The style is at the base of each stigma and separates the stigmas from the ovary. The style can be identified separately from the stigmas due to the absence of papillae. However, as the female cannabis flower is kept from being fertilized in the cultivation of cannabis, the papillae will grow on the style in an attempt to increase the plant’s ability to capture pollen. Cannabis pistils are whitish-yellow when fertile and orange to red when no longer fertile. Some unique cultivars have pink pistils. Pistils also vary in robustness along the broad to narrow leaf spectrum. (Credit: Expansion of female sex organs in response to prolonged virginity in Cannabis sativa)

Thanks @PromI have a loupe so I look at the formations daily, it is magnificent. Cant wait for my next grow, and the next one and and. Thats some long time service @Prom. 30 years, #Pro, thats 946,080,000 seconds more experience than I have.

Wow, thank you for that factual feedback, that makes complete sense, Mind blown though with the part that the Trichomes mature quicker on the sugar leaves, thank you, I will right that in my note book.

My apologies to chip in, I want to harvest my Gorilla Auto at the perfect time, pistols are 80% orange, but new white hairs pop out every few days, on one hand I am told to watch the Trichomes to change to amber, on the other side I am told to wait until the leaves are dying. Is it both? The leaves still look fresh and green.

Wow, very sugary they are! When the buds are so full of trichomes, or so nice and sugary, are they best to use to make Rosin and oils, or doesn't it matter?
