2 weeks in flower and woke up this morning to see pistils are brownish here and there. What’s the cause? Or is it normal?

probably normal, as long as no more than 10 percent are brown

More than likely strain related. Not all plants react the same way. I had a strain never brown up until about the 3rd to last week of flower, then she exploded with orange/brown everywhere. Some just do it earlier then others. It’s also believed to be that pollen has entered your room and that’s a cause of the browning early in flower. Just check her underside and make sure you don’t have any sacs. I’m not gonna route that possibility out, but I would look just to make sure you done have a hermie and she isn’t pollinating herself.

I only have plants that’s still in veg with no sign of sex. I’ve watched for hermi i see no signs out it yet. Hopefully it is just the strain type. I’m new to the inside scene so idk if temps or something could cause it as well. It won’t let me upload a pic.

Temp can have an effect if the colas get too close to the light.
Check for hermie flowers at the bottom of all tour plants... brown pistols can indicate they have cought some pollen

You won’t see any signs of hermie until you flip to flower. Some strains are even resistant to showing any preflowers during veg.

Did you spray anything?

I have 1 in flower. Mine never showed preflowers and just got to bushy. Sucks i can’t upload a pic. Lights are also always 16-20 inches away.
I did. I read about using foliar spray with molasses in early flower. I believe I’ll stop that and see what happens.

Just molasses/and a bloom booster. I pH and use PPM pen. Maybe to many nutes to early in flower?

Spraying your plant can cause pistils to go brown. Don't spray anything in flower,
