Should i force these girls to mature?

I’ve been having problems with these girls. The buds are so large that almost all of them have been tied. I’ve had one small spot of bud rot that i cut out and haven’t had any come back. Also some bud are a little too close to the light and have fox tailed a little.


The pistils are still white and the tricomes are clear

How long have they been flowering?

Looks white still as in lots of pistils but to far

They have been in flower for 9 weeks and 5 days

Let’s see em

You posted a photo of stigmas; you should be looking at the trichomes for the ratio of clear/cloudy/amber you desire.

There’s no “forcing” maturation faster than it normally happens, although the opposite isn’t true. I’ve heard people speculate about using ethylene or other agents, but nothing is conclusive, or more importantly, relevant to home cultivation.
