Okay guys what do you think? I’ve got a super skunk fem outdoors eight weeks into her flower. All of the trichomes look hazy but I’m in Texas so I’m also fighting a drought and aphids. Do I hold the line for a couple more weeks? Or do I go ahead and harvest and not risk damage to my plant? Below are some magnified pics of the buds and trichomes. Let me know.

Need to wait for those white pistils to brown. How many weeks has the plant been flowering?

I missed that the OP stated 8 weeks into flower. Most plants will be ready after 8 to 10 weeks of flower. OP: is this a sativa? They can take a bit longer.

I’m with the others. The way the pistils look it may have been pollinated. I hope I’m wrong.

I would wait til it was ready. Chopping early will result in under developed trichs and give you headaches. I don’t like green bananas or rubber avacados…

Yes Im all about more time…but in the meantime I’m fighting aphids that are shredding it as much as they can and a heatwave that is possibly killing off my potency. This strain is an 8-10 week flower and I’m all about the wait but I’m sacrificing something either way.
I dont take cues off of pistils. Im in texas. Everything goes brown in the summer. You walk in the grass and it crunches under your feet.

Yeah you missed the mark with the pollination guess. These buds are fat.

It can still be pollinated but the seeds won’t have time to fully develop.

You took me wrong. I was just saying that a plant not necessarily your plant can be pollinated late in flower. I was saying that your far enough along that if it was the seeds wouldn’t have time to develop.

Green bananas are the best 
You kinda should with weed unless it’s a haze or a landrace, white pistils is immature flowers. Regardless where your from they have a baseline flowering time for a reason. Regards to pollenation, I agree, mostly pollenated pistils start going brown from the base of the pistil not the tip, tips going brown is usually wind damage or where the pistils have been brushed by something

I thought it was the opposite. I just had three get pollinated and I swear I thought it started at the tips and worked inward. I been looking at plants too long.
