Hello there. Orange bud, not pistils? Let's talk about it. Firstly, plants look great and you're coming up to the finish line here. Great job👍. There's not a picture of the orange bud you mentioned but I do believe I know what you're talking about. If you were able to add a photo of what you're seeing, that may help us question answers a tad more, but let's just talk on what we know and your current environment. A bud starting to turn orange may very well be a localized anomaly of the plant. If this is the only area you saw the dis-coloration, then I would not panic one bit. Some of our plants can act funny near the end and in no way, shape or form (according to the environmental numbers) do I believe this is bud rot you're looking at. I believe this is a simple phenotype and/or random mutation/anomaly. You didn't do anything wrong by chopping her (you were taking a precaution) but it may have been nothing at all. Your temperature and relative humidity readings are on PAR and these conditions should not start a bud rot scenario ( SHOULD NOT! lol). You're running 25 degrees and 40%, that is optimal. Once we go into the 26+ and 60%+ RH territory should bud rot become a possible issue. If you're concerned with this dis-coloration/issue and your gut tells you something is off (possible bud rot starting), I simply suggest dropping your temp and RH (23 degrees and 25-35% RH). At this stage of flower, the lower 25% humidity should not hurt them at all👍 Lastly, air circulation is key. Adding additional fans for air flow will help keep any standing moisture from establishing itself and/or effecting your plants. Things look great, I don't think you're in bud rot territory and I genuinely feel this may be a simple, localized issue with a simple top. If you can add pictures in the update, that would be great! Until then, I hope this helped, don't panic and all will be well. Drop me a PM if you'd like to speak further. I'll be kicking around😉✊

Hi Uk420show I can see you have some slight nutrition burn. Resolve this first before it gets worse on WW. I did a research because it got interest I haven't seen anything similar. So something for you which can be helpful. 1- Hairs turn orange from between 2 and 5 weeks of flowering depending on strain that's what I've noticed anyway. 2- The white hairs will turn amber in color all throughout flowering, this is normal and not to worry about it, If the buds not growing bigger could be many things going in but by not feeding them I'm sure it the main reason. 3- Could there be a hermie hidden in there. Look out for other buds turning orange. She could be pollinated. 4- Could also be beginning of Botryitis (budrot). Watch out other buds turning same. Hope this helps and good luck. Happy Growing
