If they get touched they will turn brown. If not touched then it could be several things. Not enough water or too much. Same with nutrition not enough or too much. Each stage in growth has certain parts of feed it wants more of. There is limited information so it is difficult to pinpoint exactly what is going on.

Pic 2 is not of pistils but of what is known as "stipules", a growth cannabis gets at the nodes and these have nothing to do with flowering or the sex of the plant.
The fact that some are brown is of no consequence, they have no function that anyone can determine.
Pic 1 shows a healthy white pistil in the background, pistils will always be associated with a calyx/bract/pod.
You have nothing to worry about, they will not go brown just by being touched either, unless you squash them. They usually only go brown once pollinated.
Week 7 in my diary "cannabis conundrums" has some pictures that may help you understand some more about pistils and pre flowers/primordia.
Hope this helps, Organoman.

Alright, now I need some advice.
As you can see, the big girls are looking great. I switched them to flower 2 weeks ago.
Should I give them another trim (lower and shade leaves?) I am looking under these shade leaves and there are a lot of Bud sites.

Flowering QuestionIn the process of growing Blueberry Dream (7.5 weeks) and the flowers haven't done much of anything over the past 1.5 weeks. Any suggestions besides switching the light schedule (12/12) and/or increasing nutrition. I've been using FoxFarm's Grow Big and Tiger Bloom products.Plant. Other

Chop or FlushAccording to the flowering time shes supposed to have 2 weeks left, for this reason I haven’t been checking the trichs. I Just checked yesterday and they’re 60% amber. I didn’t do a proper flush and she was fed up until 6 days ago, since then only water. Keep flushing or chop?Week 15

Should I repot at day 18?Should I repot to a pot of 15-20l? I'm kinda regretting I planted it in a pot with +-4l of soil. I want to plant her out in full ground around week 5 when the belgian weather starts getting milder, and I'm not sure if it's worth repotting now for another 2-3w, given the risk.6y ago

POLLINATE NOW for mature seeds? Auto Plants in Week 6My Auto plants at week 6 have formed pistils.
I don't feel like they are quite mature enough to pollinate yet.
I am basically at the halfway point of this grow. I don't want to miss the window to have fully mature seeds.
Any pollination methods/advice?Week 6
