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?

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.

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

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.

Did you spray anything?

I did. I read about using foliar spray with molasses in early flower. I believe I’ll stop that and see what happens.

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