Pistils turning dark orange - Week 2 of flowering.

Okay, so it is week 2 of flowering and some pistils seem to have dark brown/red tips to them already.
There was a problem with my timers and they had a few extra hours of light the other week.
The branches are also turning red on these. Is this something to worry about?

No

I have only had pistils turn orange/brown that early for 1 of 2 reasons.
Light burning the shit out of them, or pollenated.

No males there and neither are hermie, or if they are there's no pollen sacks to pollinate with. Put the light a bit higher to see what happens. There's only a few with the orange tips, the majority of them are big and white.

It happens to me sometimes. Usually on lower branches

I increased the feed last night, seems to be helping them. I have also put the light a bit higher.

Other then some red stalks and some pistils that have orange tips, it all looks healthy and the leaves aren't red at all. I do have slightly small pots, so may have to transplant to see if it helps.

With transplanting into bigger pots, is it okay to do now that they are flowering?

You can repot early in flower with no stress. So go for it!
Also, dont worry about the hairs turning red and tips browning early. Sometimes they can get singed from the heat bc they are ever so fragile atm. They will generate more n more white hairs and soon you'll forget that ever even happened. I smashed a dozen plants under my tarp in early flower...its almost like they came back bigger and wider, no signs of the burntness at all. GL

Have you touched these buds? Often times touching the bud to get smell or see how sticky they are will damage the hairs

Yeah, they are in a relatively small space so I have to touch them when I'm inspecting and watering. Wasn't sure if this was some sort of deficiency, that was my main worry. The strain is Green Crack by Humboldt Seed Organisation, perhaps it is in the genetics. Either way, I think I need larger pots to allow them to put more weight on in the long run so I will give that a go.

I only managed to get one picture before battery ran out.
I will get a closer one tomorrow.
My setup is a converted cupboard, made into a flowering box.
I topped both of my plants, but the one closest to the camera seems to have stretched a bit more or perhaps it is a more sativa heavy pheno.

Wind burn can cause this also

Mine have got a bit of brown tip but theyve been like that from the start , no problem with mine.

The purple stems can be the strain or slight stress ?? I think cold temps idk??

I would not worrie to much about it,, keep growing

They have had a fair amount of light stress at the start of flowering due to timers breaking. I have put the light a bit higher, which seems to have helped. Uploaded some pictures, but my camera is crap.

u better be on the lookout for male flowers.

Doesn't seem to be any at all.

I had this happen in my current grow. Kept a.close eye on them, but no negative impact. As was mentioned above, they started kicking off so much white I forgot all about then.

Good luck
