Hello,
I'm looking at a strain of sativa; the strain is unknown. This is week 9 of flowering. I see a lot of headless trichomes. These are capitate-stalked trichomes that have lost their heads? They aren't the non-glandular, thin, non-resin containing trichomes, but rather long, fat stalks that at one time had ahead (I believe I'm correct). If I remember correctly this means that these trichomes are dying. However, there are still capitate-trichomes that are either turning cloudy, or trichomes that are completely cloudy. Plus, there are a few amber trichomes. I only saw one completely brown head of all the many samples that I've taken. The very top of the cola has many clear trichomes. Overall it seems as though the majority of the trichomes have lost their heads.
I don't know what to do regarding harvesting this bud. The reason I hesitate to pick it is because being sative 8 1/2 weeks seems a little too soon. However, I do have a tendency to let the buds get over-ripe. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Alistair
