beige/brown pistils Royal AK auto

I think i figured out what might have been the problem. Yesterday my fat banana started also showing clear early symptoms of nute burn (yellow tips on the top leaves) after only giving her water. The Day that the pistils and tips went beige/yellow is also the day my warmth mats arrived and placed them underneath the pots. Is it possible by raising the temperature of the roots, more nutes were released than she's used to? If this is the case, I think everything will be fine after just giving water for a few days. the soil temperature was 18°C before, now it's around 20-21°C

You might be able to raise the Ec a little. In this phase 0.8 is a little bit less than the floor is full 👍

Thanks for all the replies fellow growers! 🙌 12" is the closest distance in flowering phase for my spiderfarmer fs1000. I put it back at 16". I thought 12" might already be okay because the top of the plants aren't positioned in the center of the light. Using my (photo/cine) light meter I measured 1 full f-stop light difference from side to center. I also don't think it's nute burn. I can't measure my soil tho. But de solution just has a ppm of 420 or 0.8EC and my soil and nutes manifacturer scheme says I could already be adding 1.8EC. Not trying to overfeed her because it's my very first grow. It could be I touched the pistils with my nose while smelling the top of the plant 😅 It's also just the top bud pistils of the AK which turned beige. All the other pistils of the plant and also all the pistils of my fat banana are just thick and white I'm going to keep the light at 16" and not give her nutes for a few days. I don't think there's allot more I can do to figure out what it is at the moment.

Hey gardener! It can happen that the pistils turn brown if water falls on them or if you touched them or for any reason, but it doesn't mean anything significant unless your plant is hermaphrodite; it could have self-pollinated, and in that case, the pistils turn brown. So at worst, check if there are any male flowers on your plant, but I doubt it. As for the tips of the leaves, if they are not brown, they are not burnt, so no nutrient or light burn, and they will regain their normal color when the leaves mature. For the distances, you should go to their website and use the one they recommend. Good luck to you, bella ciao!

Have you been giving lots of nutes to her? Those tips looks like the very early beginning of nute burn and if it stays like that there is nothing to worry but if it starts to spread there might be too much nutes. I've heard that too much nutes can also affect the color of the pistils but I have not yet had a chance to confirm this myself. Overall your plant is looking pretty helathy and there is nothing alarming going on just yet. Keep an eye on her and see how things go in the next couple days and see if you have to do something. Many times the plants show some kind of symptom from something (stress etc.) and they will heal themselves pretty good if it is nothing too serious 👌

Hi there.. if your light has been too close, then it can be due to heat .. I've had this when my plants grew too close to a light as well.. on the other hand (and i don't think your plant is at that point in her lifecycle yet), the pistils will turn amber as well, just like the trichomes, when she's getting towards the end of flowering. Given you've already raised the light, i would just recommend keeping an eye on it to verify that it's not getting worse. happy growing
