Orange Hairs

Orange hairs, or pistils, are a fascinating and essential feature of cannabis flowers. These hair-like structures emerge from the nodes of female cannabis buds and serve a crucial reproductive function. During the flowering phase, the pistils change in color, going from white to vibrant orange, indicating the maturity of the flowers. When the pistils are mostly orange, it suggests that the cannabis plant is approaching its harvest window. However, it’s important to note that pistil color alone cannot determine optimal harvest time; examining trichome coloration is equally crucial. Cannabis growers closely monitor the development of orange hairs and trichomes to determine the ideal harvest point, ensuring a potent and flavorful cannabis yield with the desired effects for consumers.
