pistols are turning amber prematurely!?

I'm having issues with one plant and I can't figure out whats going on. It's a Barneys Farm Blue Cheese. Today Is the start of week 5 flower but I've never seen it turn this early, it's normally a 9 week strain. I have also noticed it don't seem to be growing new white pistols and and bud growth has slowed. I know everyone is going to say it hermied or there is a male in the flower room but I can promise there is not I've checked over about a 100 times now. I'll post some pics and give you more info about the grow and if someone else has had this issue or knows what's going on please help me I'm stuck.

Soil-Fox farm happy frog
Nutrients-General Organics
light- 600w hortilux eye hps
beginning 5th week flower
temps - 60-65 at night and 70-80 during lights on
Humidity- is below 45% not sure the exact number my RH gauge acts up a lot
strain- barneys farm blue cheese
4x4 grow tent

This is all I can really think too add please let me know if you have any clues to the issues?

Seems like a happy healthy plant. Some hairs reside in the buds at different times based on strain and can't be used to determine a window for harvest. Merely looking at the trichs is the only way to get a real answer. Its probably just going to be really hairy and orange. The buds will continue to produce new pistils and others will reside and die.

You really need some Magnesium Sulfate (Not EPSOM SALT) Get a sweetener, like GH Flora Nectar
Secondly, I don't what you fed her but your profile should look like this...

Total PPM/Gal= 333
250 NPK Nutrients
~83 PPM Supplements (Anything like GH Flora Nectar)
~60 PPM Foliar Spray (Leafs only during flower, to correct issues)

Do not read the nutrient container, that is labeled for 1000 watts under perfect conditions. Which is obviously not occurring right now.

Hey mine have some wicked yellow fan leafs right now because I didn't have enough cal-mag in Veg. So don't feel bad.

Also, the light may be too close and is why the leafs are trying to curl down and inward to escape the heat. Look for light burn ok

It looks pretty good. Maybe a bit overwatered. Do you water until there is runoff coming out the bottom, then wait until it's relatively dry before watering again?

I do not think it's magnesium deficient in particular, in fact I think you're just imagining problems. That's about what they should look like at 5 weeks flowering.

I agree I dont see any type of deficiency here. She's looking good

Looks like root issues/stress to me. I had a bad fungus gnat problem and they were eating the roots badly, the buds didn't fill in at all (yours look very small for 4/9 weeks) and the pistils turned amber around week 5, my guess is because they plant is afraid it's dying so it's trying to mature super fast.

Thats actually a interesting read. And it's quite possible that you could be right.
@OP: I would suggest examining your soil for small gnats as mentioned by hydrolyzed

I looked and there is a couple of those little files in my grow room but I don't see any in the soil or any larve, so I don't think that's it. Maybe I am making up issues in my head I don't know. I have just never seen pistols turn that quickly. I'll just have to ride it out and see what happens.

It look fine, no problems there. Everything your seeing is normal for a healthy thriving plant. Actually it looks pretty perfect . Good Job, now leave it be and do as you have been doing.
