Why do my pistils Look Burnt
Seedleranswered grow question 9 days ago
for me it looks like someone rubbed over that top over and over again, thats why the pistils changed color. Probably no pollination because the whole pistil turned and not just the tip.
Yeah so windburn as mentioned could do that or you just grabbing that shit violently haha.
( i assume the plant just hit flowering state)

Depending on age, it could just be natural progression. Pistils die and the turn a rusty color etc. This does happen normally. Usually see some plumping coinciding at this stage.
If it's 'too early' it's a sign of pollination. Anything less than ~30 days i'd be a bit concerned about non-white pistils. Once pollinated, pistils die and turn a rusty color. Consider that threshold a wide grey area. I tried to pick a number where it would definitely be pollination vs a fast developing plant.
Wind burn can do it, too. If a fan is directly blasting it, it will kill the pistils and they will turn a rusty color.
Too much light will turn pistils into yellow nubs, so that looks different and can be ruled out. You have 3 options to rule out.... well 2 of them and what remains is the best answer.
