As the pistils grow out from the calyx they form resin glands (trichomes), which gradually change in color before they shrink and wither. This withering of the trichomes affects the look of the pistils, which in turn fade and tend to look burn and dry.

At most the trichomes will change the color only slightly because there color has changed and they are on the hairs. Time is the biggest factor in the color change of the hairs and the trichomes. Anybody can figure out that trichomes don't change hair color after growing just one crop with a few different strains in it.
Examples: All clear trichomes on plants with red hairs. The picture of the book cover by Ed Rosenthal that I put up down below you can see that the hairs are turning red but what color are the trichomes still?
Now further down it says all the trichomes can take up to 2 weeks for all the trichomes on the plant to change color. Anybody who has grown a plant knows for a fact that this is not true. The first trichomes appear within the first weeks of buds forming and don't change color for 4 to 6 (or longer on certain strains esp Sativa's) weeks cause if they matured in two weeks like he claims then buds would be considered mature at 2 to 4 weeks old.
Then the book is written by a guy named Greg Green. He gets his information from other peoples books and old science studies many of them from the 70's and earlier. He is also very well known for being the guy who use to ask a ton of questions at Overgrow then came out with a book.
I don't claim to be any kind of a expert or any better of a grower then anybody else but I have picked up a few thing along the way considering this is my 25th year under the lights.
The best grow book out right now is
and here is the site for the book when things need to be updated or if you actually want to ask the author a question.

25/3
so i took off a little nug a few days ago and tried it out yesterday... first time smoking in about a month. and it got me absolubetely ripped!
anyway, here is another nug i picked today.
i heard that leaving plants inside in darkness for the last 36-48 hours can end up making the plant slightly stronger. and if it doesnt im pretty sure it wont do it any harm anyway. will it be ready it 2 days? opinions please!
once again, i thank you all for your help. the growery and the shroomery sure are awesome places with great helpful people!
