Hi! The pistils can turn brown early for many reasons. Yours looks like it's heat related but cant say for sure. Other reasons can be due to pollination, touching or spraying water etc.. Hope this helps

To cut or not to cut, that is the question. Please help
I'm thinking it's time to harvest my auto. The main top Bud is starting to look like it's dying on the tip so I cut it off I'm on the 66th of flowering. I put it in the dark yesterday and was gonna give it a couple of days Already had one do the same thing and had to cut ideas?

Strange Bud Formation
A Girl Scout Cookie has normal growing dense buds but also has deformed buds on two branches where they are stacking weird and are light and wispy. What is this? Could it be from having nitrogen toxicity in the flowering period?

Seeded flowers? Just checked my auto tent again. At least one if not all of the plants appear to be seeded. I want another set of eyes to look.
I dissected one of the flowers and saw what appeared to be a seed at about 2 weeks of maturity. So still very young. If you do see signs of nanners or seeds, please go through my growdiary and pick out what I did wrong. I cannot identify anything happening this grow that was bad.

Are there male flowers on my plant?
I'm afraid that the Z and Z could be a hermie but I'm not 100 % sure yet. I posted a picture of what possibly could be a male pollensack. Maybe some experienced growers can help my out to find out if it is really a male flower?

What is your prefered amber percent for harvesting OG Kush and similar strains? What do you think? One or two weeks more seems right.

Is this plant a boy?
So two of my plants have flowered, however a third seems somewhat shorter and doesn't seem to have Pistil. Is this plant not yet flowering, is it male, or is something else going in here. Looks healthy other than that.

Main versus secondary maturing
This secondary lower buds seem to be maturing faster than the main colas. The pistils are turning dark faster on the lower than the upper. Not by much, but it's noticeable. Maybe a week or so? BUT, should I take the secondary buds first and leave the main colas to mature more?

You're my only hope!
Need help! Some of the hairs on my bud are already turning brown/amber around week 4 of flowering... Any idea why this is happening? It's probably only about 5-10% but they're not even mature buds at all yet
