Pistils changing color very early

[InjectTruth]

Trying to figure out where I went wrong this time around.

I noticed around week 4 that some pistils had already started to change over. I came across a very slight reference to the effect of "early browning pistils = over nute/nute burn)

Is this an accurate axiom?

they go red in "waves", more white ones will come.

One of yer plants may have become a hermaphrodite...Check em closely for a male flower(s), pollinated pistils turn red/orange once they have done their job.

Not the only possibility, but it is one.
Good luck,

Every female plant I've grown, the first calyxes to appear at the internodes, it's pistols always changed colors early on, but there were always more white ones that would appear every day. I wouldn't worry about it.

underwatering can also cause this phenomenon-since many of us transplant to a bigger caontainer belfore flowering, it is paramount to ensure moisture is there-this happens to me when i underwater-especially with coco type mixes

i would say that other than the 2 little calyxes that appear at each node right away during sexing, no pistils should be dieing off unless they have been pollinated. unless of course you are subjecting your plants to improper care...

either way, i'd check EVERY plant top to bottom to look for opened up male flowers (or even closed ones lol) and pluck them bitches if not pull the plant (and all other cuts of it, if applicable) and never run them again... hermies are a HUGE pain... hope its not your case, if it is you can always make oil

^ agree w/ above poster but also highly doubt the above as you pay enough attention to notice the pistil color variation, im sure you would of noticed a male/hermie flower.

Nute burn, under-watering and light bleaching, any of these 3 can cause pistils to change red a little earlier than usual.

In any event I've had my share of hermies and the last thing I noticed on those particular plants was any pistils, as I was more concerned with nanners and/or full blown male flowers.

like grass said your either got polinated, or theres some stress. like if youve been fondling your buds. also like someone else said as they turn new ones pop up till the end of flower where you see the rate of new pistils slow way down.

also like he said about the hermies. one of the plants in there went hermie and polinated all the rest. i was like wtf i took the male out a long time ago...omg jenny went hermie on me!!

 

[hbstoner]

do you have a fan blowing somewhat hard on them? if so i have seen this cause premature changing of colors. try turning your fan down if possible

It could also be a sign of phosphorous defficiency. damn I hate it when there are so many factors for something that seems so obvious.
so if everything you people said was right then its either
hermaphrodite
underwatering (I guess)
nute burn
light bleaching (that one is not hard to tell)
phosphorous defficiency
and obviously (normally) after 4 weeks it could be because the hairs die off as new one comes out but if more than 50% of hairs have changed color then its something else

damn, what a headache isnt it injectruth?
good luck trying to figure this out bro

Bump day 32 few hairs turning red.but not swelling like they are pollinated. Any hope they arent pollinated? Got like 5 issues off the list above
