What do you guys think about red hairs on weed
    #22189800 - 09/04/15 07:36 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

On street weed? I have actually never had mids with red hairs, even high mid. A couple of the dank strains ive had were covered in them.

So i would think red hairs imply dankness? But i bought some weed today that is obviously mid-high mid covered in red hairs.

Now i dont feel like googling that shit :lol: so what do red hairs usually represent?

Red hairs are just a sign of maturity in the bud and a hereditary feature of certain stains. I think the whole 'red hair' thing is really just an oldschool quality measure to ensure the nugs received weren't cut too early, leaving a product that is of lower quality than if waiting for an additional few weeks of growing.

Awesome, never seen anything like that. Looks trippy, how did it taste?

Alright I guess. It was a long time ago so I don't remember very well but I do remember it smelled fantastic. I fucked up the drying and dried it out way too much way to fast so it wasn't very potent.

That picture of that bud has at least a few weeks before it's tasty. Resin production (aka THC) keeps up in production the last 2 weeks of a plant as well as CBD development. That's also when the taste really starts to become distinct.

The pistils (red hairs) turn this color when the plant is nearing maturity, better to go by the color of the trichomes though.  I like a good balance of amber/cloudy trichome color.

"red hairs"
Is in fact just oxidation.

After the plant is cut. Not at the time of growing.

If you say so.
But not all plants turn red.
Many stay white, turn purple, blue, etc...
As a grower I've seen many colorful strains and plants.:smile:

Yeah I always keep my eye out for the nugs with blue hairs. That shit will blow you away.

The life cycle ultimate dictates the color of the pistils and harvested / dried at which point oxidization turns the color to a brown / red or some variation of.

But pistils have nothing to do with quality of weed. It's just a marketing ploy from long ago.

The red hair is indeed a pistil- the collective name for the female appendage on the plant that captures the male pollen. The more red hairs the more desperate the plant was to be pollinated (some strains should be more intense then others.)

Red hairs do not seem to have strong correlations with potency. However such active pistils on the plant suggests large, strong, even overactive calyx which might mean a spike in the production of the chemicals inside of said calyx, not to mention increased surface area for trichomes..
The trichomes are mainly on the calyx after all...
