Early flower - Pistils turning amber

Hello people,

It's my first ever grow, I'm growing organic no-till living soil style. There is worms spiders and all kinds of stuff in my tent. Day 43 from seed for the oldest girl, other two are week or so younger. All 3 are Amnesia Autos from seedsman(freebies). I noticed some of the pistils going amber. I know those could be the early pistils and they might be getting old but at the places that doesn't get intense light pistils looking more perky and fresh. They are not reaching up all white like I always see on other plants. Maybe thats because those started developing later compared to ones with intense light but I wanted to get some opinions. Can that be caused by lights being too close? Did anyone experience it before? Why does that usually happen?

By the way my light is single cree cxb3590 ran @2450mamps and 4x Philips 23w Led Bulbs in 2x2 tent.

This is just one of them things.................................................... you know?

They are looking pretty good imo. More pistols will start to turn color now as you go. They will eventually be all brown and shriveled up when it gets closer to done. The edges of your leaves are nice and flat, tells me your light isn't too close.

When the pistols start getting closer to all amber/brown you will want to start researching and looking at trichomes. Lots of guides out there to check out.

I tought maybe not the light intensity but the heat from light might have been burning them. Ambient temprature is around 21 celcius and I have a fan blowing under plants towards to the light. I guess its just a normal thing.

I don't have a lot of experience , but I don't see any signs of light or heat stress.

I lowered the light a little bit to see if it has any negative effect and plants perked up even more. So that's pretty cool.

I don't look into everything with great detail, but I'm almost completely certain this is a pretty normal thing. I suspect it's mainly genetic, some of my strains lose pistils early in flower, just before sprouting an army of new white ones. It's like the plant makes a modest attempt at receiving pollen, doesn't, and then goes defcon 5 with new pistil growth to get that pollen.

That's what was logical to me also. So yeah that makes sense. Thanks.

I'm excited to see what they gonna develope.

On photo cultivars, you typically have 3 to 4 weeks from when you see the first brown hairs.
I don't do autos though.

They are not really brown brown. Just the tips are getting brown. Thats why I tought it could be light or heat whats causing that.

what is going in the pot that is different?

I top dressed just a handfull of biobizz promix when oldest one finished preflowering. Really tiny amount. Other than that today I gave them fermented stinging nettle juice. Nothing else really just water. Oldest one always had pistils with brown tips tough. It didn't change after some input.
