She's 3 weeks into flowering the pistils start changing colors, but the kicker is it's ONLY happening on one of the side stems.

Below are pics of the same stem. The rest of the plant is doing fine.

• Do you have any idea of what is the cause of this?

Extra info...all the nodes and the complete stem itself is still GREEN. So besides the coloration of the pistils there's no sign of a nutrient deficiency.

It could be the lighting, but this stem is closer to the light than others. The other bud sites below this one is doing fine.

I'm using CFL from germination to harvest. (This was an experiment to see what all the hype was with CFL, and to see what results I can get from them.) My next set-up is areo/dwc/scrog under 400 MH and 1000 HPS.

This current setup is 16-40W/2800K/2650 Lumen CFLs. I have 10 placed above the canopy, and 6 surrounding the base of the canopy.

Day/ Night Temps: 70-75 F
Day/Night Humidity: 50-65%

Below is other pics of the same plant.

Do you happen to have a male plant around? Looks like those pistals got some pollen.

Here's some pics of the other bud sites of the same plant to show you what I mean by the other sites are doing okay.

in this area they're all female. At least that's what i thought until now. If they're is a male sac around one of these plants would have to be a hermie, because they're all showing female flowers. I'll have to inspect them once the light comes on.

If...PLEASE...let it be a IF...if there is a male sac among the female bud sites. Is there anyway that I can salvage this crop?

Any suggestions for a contingency plan?

what do u mean this "area" because pollen can travel if you have males producing pollen somewhere else

My apologies. Let me clarify myself...I have 4 plants in this grow set-up, and they're all exhibiting female bud sites. I've never grown in this location before, and all the equipment was built specifically for this setup. So I don't expect the pollen could come from any prior set-ups.

If there is a male sac hiding some where it would have to be a hermie plant.

for this experiment I used some bag seeds. I did not want to use any of my good clones because this was only suppose to be a CFL experiment.
