They are in the middle of thier 4th week of flowering and although the buds aren't full size yet, some of the pistils are turning brown already. Does this mean they are maturing at a faster rate or is there something else going on?
Thanks in advance for your help  |

The trichomes will give you a sure indication of ripeness. They will turn from clear to cloudy and finally to amber. You can harvest anytime you like but when the trichomes begin to turn cloudy is the beginning of the ripening process. Judging by pistil color is guesswork.
