I would give her at least 1 more week man if not 2. I am still seeing a lot of white pistils. If your going by pistil color you want at least 75% of pistils to be amber. If you want it to be knock out couch lock go for 100% amber.
Your also looking for very swollen calyxs and those don't look all that swollen to me.

you are talking 2 dif things pistils are teh red hairs not the crystals and have nothing to do with stone. trichomes however turn amber and do effect change in cannibinoid content.

Trichomes change color and wither, thus affecting the pistil color.
Some other indications of ripe buds are;
Swollen Calyxs
Production of crystals has stopped
Production of bud mass has stopped
Fan leaves start to turn yellow and drop off

Oh and if its misinformation you might want to send Greg Green a message and tell him trichomes don't form on pistils and he should take that information out of his book, because from what I am reading they do. Maybe you should read up before correcting people.

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.

Trichs growing on the pistils eh?

Of course it's happening inside your head.
Why should that mean it isn't real?

your clearly talking about "red hairs" and not trichome color. calyx color is a bad indicator as they can vary alot. trich heads however are pretty reliable.

oh sorry redhairs are stigmas part of the pistil but usually people just call red hairs pistils. the red hairs def dont have trichomes(globeheads) and he was refering to the calyx and is sort of confusingly written. the rest of the pistil is inside the calyx and you dont see it. red hairs are not resinous (thc sense) and you can test that yourself.

Huh. I'll be damned.
I honestly don't think its the trichs changing that makes the pistils turn color. I mean, thats just in my opinion though.
Think of your preflowers, those brown up way before the others, sometimes before any (significant) trichome production.

It was not really all that confusing. I said the pistils change colors, due to withering of the trichomes : You disagreed with that part, I use the correct term for everything really.
I also said the CALYXS SWELL : Which is also very very true, and not confusing if you know what they are.

Anyways Lucas you got your verdict  
WAIT A FEW MORE WEEKS FOR THAT PERFECT SMOKE
No doubt Trichome color is a expert indicator when you have access to a magnifying glass. A easier way to tell is to look at pistils though. Do 75% percent of pistils turn amber before trichome production? Nope. If they do that means you have a problem.

all i will say is stigma browning and trich browning have a bit of a correlation but its not a causation from trich>stigma. they stigma dry up and die not change cannibinoid content. anyway

Well just PM me the info and Ill certainly read up. I don't want to continue this in his thread.
Because from what I read man, change in trichomes DO affect the overall pistil appearance.
I value what I read in books and valid internet articles before what others tell me.
