Curious, should i be concerned about new pestil growth. Just here and there on flower . Nothing major but i can notice them on tips. Checked the trichromes and id say about average of 3 percent amber maybe 5 on colas. Mostly cloudy very few clears

Late development of calyxes is called foxtailing. It can be minimized with proper light intensity (~900 PPFD) during flowering.
Pictures would help confirm this assessment. Can you post a few pics?

Thanks for pointing these out. It looks like they might have some time to go yet.
@Bluedream1 have you been looking at the trichomes on flower? That is a real way to assess when you want to harvest. Harvest based on trichome maturity. I would begin checking trichomes every few days at this point.

They are just fattening up.
It seems to me that they usually have like 3 or so “waves” of producing new pistils as they grow. Like a surge where they “swallow up” the older growth and squeeze into the spaces.

Lst would be the was to go. Slowy start bending main stalk if its not to hard. That way all the side branch will grow up and make and even canopy. Somebody told me.to bend her over and make her touch her toes lol. This is one of my girls , im a newbie as well so i was really scared to bend the plant but it did wonders.
