Hopefully, they haven't been pollinated. Pistils turning brown early, can be a sign that you have a hermie/male in there somewhere, and has released pollen. Is that a possibility? I hope not, but, 3 weeks is normally too early for the pistils to change color,(except for maybe one here and there) so you better take a close look for balls on your plants.

Yes exactelly that if they are brown and shriveling up thats a sure sign of pollination and its most noticable on the pistils lower down the plant on your smaller buds.

usually when temps are high they burn, but they just kind of shrivel up, not brown. Is it only the top that is affected? Also it can happen when a fan is blowing to high and something is rubbing against them.

No it sounds like pollination.
Examine the top cola for any yellow "banannas" (pollen pods not balls).
Keep looking as they tend to hide right inside the buds and can take a while to spot but they will be yellow.

They look like bananas. When they open they look like this. This is a male plant but you get the idea.

If it is pollination the calyxes will swell beyond belief in a week.

is it normal at around 6 weeks into flowering, there are some that have began to change color, not many, and not really too dark but is this normal, again they are about half-way thur their 6th week of flowering
