I've always preferred plants with the most pistils per calyx, but don't know if there's any relation to potency and amount of pistils. Just seemed more gooey and pleasing to my eye.
Anyway, I have a few plants that are on the other end of that spectrum, with much fewer pistils per calyx than the others. And both of them happen to be elite/hyped strains of the moment, OG Kush and Sour Diesel, so my I'm curious my old observation/preference was wrong.
I'd say my OG Kush has much less pistils per calyx (or would it be called ovary?) than average, and the bigger fan leaves have little or no crystal. Because of the fewer pistils, you can see the calyxes clearly, instead of it being a big white blur. The calyxes are coated with trich, and because of the few pistils, it looks like a slightly grayish coat covering the flowers. The pistils are thick and for the most part straight. From a distance, the plant doesn't dazzle you because of the lack of white pistils everywhere, but up close it is intriguing. It's clearly different from my other plants. I had to move all the plants to a different room recently, then back to their original room, and I can identify every OG Kush and my single Sour D without looking at the tag. I couldn't do that with all my plants, though. The OG's do look different than all the others in my room. Not saying it's bad or good, just unique.
So do the amount of pistils have any bearing on potency? Yield? Anything?
