Hello,I am new here and this is my 4th grow,usually get pretty good results with yield and quality.
never had problems except this time.
i am growing 2 seeds - barney's liberty haze and norden seeds pink bubble feminized.
1st 7 weeks veged outdoor at 16-18 hrs of light (14 hrs from the sun and the rest with some cfl's)
now im at week 2 of 14 natural hrs of sunlight and days getting shorter.
preflower has started,my 2 dense low bushes are beautiful after LST in veg.
regular potting soil and very very low amounts of organic ferts. (almost nothing)
outside peak temp is 30 degrees celsius - 88 degrees F. pretty hot and i keep'em shaded combined with direct sun on and off.
PROBLEM - STARTED NOTICING WHITE PISTILS TIPS ARE DRYING AND BROWNING (ATTACHED PIC) - SHOWN ONLY ON BARNEY'S
BUT ON PINK BUBBLE,PISTILS ARE OK BUT SYMPTOMS ARE SHOWN ON TIP OF THE TIPS OF THE UPPER NEW SETS OF SMALL LEAVES.
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON ? (EXCEPT FOR THAT,PLANTS ARE VERY HEALTHY,NO BUGS,NO COLOR CHANGES....
THANK YOU

This happens a lot to me, it never seems to be a problem though. My lower pistils turn brown after a few weeks usually, just keep an eye on those smokable buds...if they turn brown then you got a problem.

It's not a problem. The pistils and calyxes are just old and beyond sexual maturity. These plants are perfectly healthy. Stop worrying so much.

Its just showing maturity, nothings dying, everything's fine. typically once the pistils start turning orange its completely ready to flower.

It's my current problem too! This is my first growing and my plant is probably Thai sativa as I live in south east asia region.
in the afternoon it can be 32 degree Celsius and quite windy.
