During the peak period of flowering the female pistils on the
flower's tips will swell up. When the swelling takes place the pistils
will begin to change in color. They will generally change from a white
to an orange tint to a red tint to a brown tint. All strains are different
but in general it is a white to red or a white to brown color change (It
is best to use the breeder's recommended flowering times for harvest
guidelines though). When she does this you are ready to harvest her
and sample your favorite herb.
Each strain does have their own flowering times and each
strain also may have a different color tint when they reach a flowering
peak.
We will talk more about harvesting in another chapter.
