I had that problem with a mother haze plant I just grew. It seemed to show reddish pistils very early in flowering. It had about another month of growing.
But I cloned it and my clones didn't show early red pistils. Still baffled by this.

My guess is that many kind of stress can show as pistils getting brown before they should. I've seen this with too hot room also.
when the soil gets too dry.... organic or not, salts form that burn leaves and pistils. Got to make sure you dont allow your soil to get too dry. A wetting agent in your soil can help moisture penetration .. Yucca extract.. Therm x70 is a good one...
Don't mean to hijack but just curious what happens next if whatever issue is handled do they just finish out early and small or do they stunt and then start throwing out new pistils for a later harvest?
Burnt pistils simply lose the ability to be fertilized. She will keep putting them out in hopes of catching some pollen to make seeds for the new generation.. Depends on what caused it though...
I have also seen burnt pistils when oscillating fans were too close or too strong. Good luck figuring it out!

Ahhh. Could be the reason! The mother plant was right by the fan.I rotated the plant but never moved it.
Good observation
Damn I found little nanners and its from my new window AC letting light come in.This is probably my 4th 12,000 BTU window unit for 3 1K vertizonyals and this is the first time I've had this problem.And from the outside it looks like a spacecraft landed in there.No matter how I dial it in.I'll have about 3 hours where the light is coming through.Fuck they usually have foam in there at least all my others did.I kill MY AC,tape a plastic flap over there vents where it comes though,and sacrifice another Hungarian hooker.I don't like killing my AC for 3 hours before lights on its just too much I tell ya.Not only do I have to get up twice in the early morn hours I have to squeeze through flowering plants to the back of the room where the AC is.

Good thing there's an easy fix for this!
Get a cardboard box, use it to make a little box in front of the cold air blower vent...
Tape it to the AC unit, (I have mine pointed up towards the ceiling to direct the light in another direction)...
Inside of the little cardboard box insert one or possibly two of those black carbon scrubber heppa furnace filters from walmart...
you're going to lose most of the light this way... tailor to your needs.
Good tip man thanks.Ive always taken the solid 12 hours of total blackness very seriously I've only grown 1 herm in 12 years and I think it was a genetic not environmental herm.Man that total dark is a must.I've always had green diodes from the AC unit and dehumidifier,buts that's totally cool as long as its not a red diode.I even have the pilot light on all night for my propane co2 generator.None of these things have caused a hermie in many years.The light coming through the vents for about 3 hours every morning has totally changed the dynamics.I took a chance to see just how important NO light should be there during the dark cycle.I learned a lesson and a good one and still have some frosty cheese and WW plants although with some seed

It doesnt take much sunlight to screw things up thats for sure... Glad to hear your going to have some frosty dank soon!
All is not lost....
Actually its kinda cool....
If you can take a very stable clone.... and force male flowers thru light rather than some silver compound.... Many growers would be interested....
I sure would be....

Letting a female go beyond whats normal is called rhodelization.....
What you did was to use a light cycle to cause male flowers.... thats what Im referring to...

If its been pollinated, bud development will slow and the plant will focus it's energy on producing, and developing the seeds. It's every plants main intention and goal to reproduce and drop seeds to further their existence. This is priority #1 for plants. Survival.
If theyve been frosted on or dried to the point of destroying cells, they will cease all growth and the affected areas will brown and die off. It really depends what has affect the plants and to what degree.
