Pistol/Hair length during early flower: MEANING!?!

[cancareent]

So, I am into my third week of flowering and noticed that my pistols/hairs on the beginning buds are not very long. Looking at my buddies garden his seem to be alot longer when he was in flower during the 3rd week. Yes we both have different strains. To that note- as I search these forums I could not find anything about pistol/hairs length and what it may indicate. Does anyone have any insight as to what pistol/hair length may indicate in terms of yield/quality etc? Does it not matter? Is it strain specific? What is the science behind the pistols/hairs? I am eager to hear your responses! Thanks for the replies in advance!

They’re only there to catch pollen, so I don’t think it matters

Maybe a pistol hair dryer could help.

Perhaps modifying a wire stretcher into a pistil stretcher?

Anatomy of Cannabis Plant

Female pistillate flowers are formed of tight clusters of bracts, the small, teardrop-shaped green petals that we growers refer to as calyxes. Each bract or calyx contains the ovary and the pistillate hair or stigma, which is what growers call the pistil and is the part of the flower that catches airborne pollen. Once pollen lands on the stigma, it is transported down the pollen tube to the ovary where fecundation takes place and the seed is formed, filling and swelling the bract as it grows. The thick, white pistil or hair will shrivel and turn a brown or red color once it has served its purpose. The seeds are usually mature after a further 4-6 weeks time.

It has more to do with having fun with words.

Let me tell you about my tile saw.

I got fork handles, if that helps...

Pistil length is strain dependant and doesn't say much about environmental influences, afaik.

So I bought the pistol hand gun..... i applied it to my plants but nothing seems to be happening.... any other suggestions!?!? ������

What need4 said.

Strain dependant.
Some are fat, some skinny, short, long, straight, curvy, white, greenish, pink,. And every combo in between.

I can tell if my environment is off or pollen has been let lose when pistils start dying early. This is something you will learn as you grow. Length is all genetics. Nothing to be concerned about.

ultimately pistils are what calyxes swell around, a well performing plant will still be shooting some fresh ones into week 6 or 7, it means more density and yield
