i was lookin at my girls this morning and noticed that the pistils that shoot out first (at where a branch meets a the main stem, just a couple of them)had already turned brown on the ends. i was wondering if anyone know the reasoning behind this, and is it really just matter of time before they all turn brown? by that i mean they were only about 3.5 weeks old, so will the rest turn that color in 3.5 weeks? it is suppose to be a 42 day (6 week flower)

thanks for any help i am just interested...

first off..dont worry about it (if you are), as they age they change color to brown/red

the why is PROBABLY because the individual carpel/calyx those pistils are meant to serve have realized they're not getting pollen, and are shutting down. That is only my guess though.

I agree its wierd but your plant looks great,good job.

been flowering (since i changed it to 12/12) for 26 days. should only take a total of 42 so they just turn brown when they finish there life cycle? so i should be on track to have these guys finished in 6-7 weeks because those hairs were only 3 weeks old before they turned that color....

u probably bumped into it or grabbed it too much to smell ur fingers so it died no worries its making more , as long as the tops of your plants keep making hairs no worries your all good

Personally i dont harvest till about 70% of the pistols have darkened. I hope this helps to explain it.

When the glandular trichomes are clear with very little, if any coloration, THC levels are at their peak with CBD and CBN both at levels that will not overly influence the THC with their sedative effects. Some prefer more overwhelming narcotic type effects, allowing the resin glands to cloud and begin to amber or darken to increase overall cannabinoid content.
