Hello friends, I need a couple of tips and your experience. Perhaps sometime in a grow, you’ve experienced premature pistil oxidation… meaning they turn brown in week 6 to 7. Perhaps this is normal, perhaps it stops the
That’s completely normal; keep in mind that many strains can be harvested after 8 weeks. The first hairs that turn brown are from the first flowers that grew, and those that are still white are from those that have just grown or are not so old yet. If you had said that they had only been flowering for 1 - 3 weeks, something would be amiss, but this is the usual state of a plant that is already nearing its end.
Agree with @herr_gruen
That sounds perfectly normal to me. Do you know the strain’s typical flowering time? I’ve grown 11-week strains that started turning a few pistils brown/amber around 7 weeks.
Hello friends…
First of all, thank you for your replies, opinions, and experience.
This was harvested by a friend who asked me to dry this plant that was entirely pollinated, I think, only seeds galore… Honestly, I never found out its information and cross… I only have about two photos I managed to save, they are not high quality this time I took them with my mobile, but maybe tomorrow I’ll take them with the pro camera… Which indicate high resin production and purple calyxes…
It’s entering week 7 day 2
And yes, I would like to leave some images
I am cultivating in organic soil and I had over-fertilization, excess, and tip burn; it doesn’t look so good, it has suffered a lot after the switch to 12/12 after week 5-6 and now in week 7, maybe it could have fattened up more or maybe it’s entering full fattening formation.
I have checked the trichomes and they are 70% transparent and the other 30% a bit whitish… I appreciate your comments

Thanks everyone
I somewhat understood that in living organic soil, maturation usually takes a bit longer… I have a fancy in week 9 and it still has a lot to go before the trichomes start to whiten, maybe another two weeks, and the seed bank or the info on the web says it’s an 8-week flowering strain in perfect climate, coco or hydroponics.

Yes, it seems the page has a glitch; it won’t let me upload since early yesterday morning.

Try restarting your phone. Sometimes it also helps to upload the pictures individually. Unfortunately, it didn’t work again.
I see what you mean
This picture is of a plant I pollinated; take a look at the pistils. The tips of the pistils are wavy and turning brown. These are signs of pollinated flowers. Compare my picture with your plant. If it looks the same, it may have been pollinated. If that’s the case, either this plant or one next to it in the direction of the wind might be going hermaphrodite. In that case, you’ll need to check all the flowers from all sides for male flowers. If you find any, you have two options. First, dispose of the plant, or second, remove the male flowers. To do this, you should wet your fingers to prevent the pollen from spreading. Don’t forget to turn off the fan during this time. Here’s another picture of a male flower for comparison. Let me know if the pictures with the pistils are similar. Or if you were able to find a hermaphrodite.
Thanks friend, the truth is I’ve been looking closely for pollen sacs and honestly haven’t found any… unless it’s very deep inside the buds… The pistils are almost identical, no doubt about that… but it’s a bit strange since I don’t have any males at home and I don’t think there’s anyone in my area with a male already releasing its pollen… Mmm, it’s strange
I’ll try to search for the sacs more meticulously to see if I find any that have exploded and caused this …
But I’m almost certain there aren’t any
Rather, I think it’s oxidation due to stress from an excess of salts in the substrate, maybe I’m wrong… But it’s a 70 40 chance that it’s not, because I know these sacs very well, unless there’s one or a few very deep inside the buds… Thanks for the images, friend
Any thoughts on what it would be if it’s not pollination?
It would be great if I’m wrong, as pollinated flowers are of inferior quality. Your pictures were not very sharp, and it looked like my pollinated flowers. But you also said that you
