I see a couple calyxs. It's only recently started to flower it looks and you have like 8 weeks left so sit back. Relax. And start some new seeds for next time. And remember...it's all about the journey

Happening to me as well. Only on the lower stems are being affected and buds are getting hard as well too. Happening to two plants different strains.

I didn't read the whole thread. Lower light energy and vegging for three weeks is gonna get you some nice but smaller nuggies.
It's progressing normally But I wish you had pruned it to give you mb four larger buds rather than a lot of small ones. But it's all good and it's all smokable.

Dannyboy how you been my friend. Haven't seen you in a while. Good to see you, and hope this new year is a great one for you.

Hello RIU :cool:

I have been noticing some of the pistils on one of my girl's lower bud sites starting to turn brown and "shrivel up". This is the only place on the plant that it seems to be happening. Is this normal for only three weeks into flowering?

Some Specs:
-First Grow
-Using 2700K CFL's
-12/12 lighting schedule
-Soil
-Vegged for about 3 weeks

-I recently used FoxFarms "Big Bloom" nutes at half strength on their 2nd to last watering. Before that, no nutrients were being used.

Here are the pictures:

Second picture from the left is a full body shot of the plant. I have her tied down because if I have to raise the lights anymore, the rest of the plants wont be receiving enough light due to the distance.

Any help will be appreciated!

Are your lights on at night or during the day? Should run them at night, if you aren't already. Power is cheaper at night, and temps are easier to manage. I think it looks ok though, mostly just preflowers fading.

Here's a bud shot from my garden at 3-weeks flowering under 600w hps as a comparison:

Did this plant finish growing fully? And was those pistols that turned brown an tips turn out to be anything major? Because I'm having the same problem now

Too early for any hairs to be turning color. Maybe if you were near week 5.
Pistils turn color early from too much nutrients or because theyve been pollinated.
I cant imagine big bloom, being very weak and basically a micro nutrient feed, would burn. So im guessing your soil is too hot for the genetics you're running.
But you should be fine. I have burnt up pistils early too and everything finished fine.

This is a real old thread, but its not uncommon for early pistils to turn orange and recede. This is normal, they are replaced by new pistils as the bud and calyxes bulk and grow.

wind and light can also cause premature pistil damage, which will also make them turn Orange and recede

I think your right it maybe wind damage as I did have a 9inch oscillating fan just above the canopy..so I've now put the fan on the floor tilting upwards a little bit..hope that stops it's from getting worse
