    I’m new to the growing community and am approaching my harvest with some concerns. I am currently on day 70 of flowering ( from 12/12 switch) with what I think is a Sativa dominant strand. From what I am reading it is just about time for harvest however I have a ton of white pistils still and am starting to worry that I might miss the harvest window. I am attaching a couple of images for reference. I am growing under an led however not sure the power as I kind of got it handed down. Growing in soil and have cut off the nutrients in order to begin flushing. Some buds look great while others def look like they have been light or heat stressed though the temp remain between a comfortable 73-77 degrees. Any ideas or input is greatly appreciated, thank you kindly

    Sativas are usually 10 or more weeks usually. But they 70 you should have bigger form buds. Maybe try cutting your lights back an hour see if that helps them Bud quicker

    Changing the light cycle is an initiator of flowering not the start of flowering.
    If you started counting days when flowering was obvious, how many days would you be at?

    There was some light leak between the zipper so that may have been a big part of it, thanks again

    I would have to add another week so that makes sense, thanks for the tip

    Yeah I was afraid of that but thanks for the heads up. Doesn’t look like that’s happening yet but in the even it does should I just try and pluck those sacks with tweezers or just let it go?

    thank you for that, I carefully plucked away those nannas all around where the light leak was so hopefully that will prevent some seeds, thanks again
