Pistils burned early
CRiSPrGrowanswered grow question 5y ago
When pistills turn brown it's because of the oxidization process from contact with the air. So basically the pistills have an outter membrane. When this membrane is pierced then the pistills turn brown. The membrane can degrade and pierce from many things. First, some phenotypes are just like that so that could be why. Second, it could be wind, air or contact. Third it could be light or humidity. Actually it doesnt matter at all for the final product, after all the pistills will all turn brown after the harvest anyway. Hope this helps ! ๐

Is it possible that its light damage? Even tho you dont seem to have heat issue it coupd be strong light?
My guess at this point would be that maybe you have touched the hairs?

The plants may not have been pollinated because they have always been alone and they are all three feminized and either a maximum temperature of 26 degrees and never sprayed anything

Hi!
The pistils turning brown can mran many things. It can mean they have been pollinated or it can be heat related (maybe a hot spot?) Or of youve been touching them or even spraing something on them can make them change colors early

On one of my plants 15 days into flower I can tell the pistils are darker maybe even purplish the the other which are white. I do clearly remember that the seed came from purple genetics, just curious if this is caused by the genetics or if there is an issue possibly going on?Week 9

How long until I should harvest my northern light?She's at day 50 now and her pistils are already getting quite orangey/brown (see diary), which seems rather early to me, also compared to other diaries of her strain. How long (more or less ofcourse) would you reckon she still has before she should be harvested?6y ago

What choices are you making?What is the difference between a bred line, IBL, true breeding, F1-hybrid, and hybrid cannabis plants?
Do you choose to grow something predictable? Or do you prefer the surprises and hunting something special from hybrid plants that have variation? Both? Medical or fun?Buds. Other
