This is my first grow and is outdoors
It's a Northen light.
noticed the pistil have brown tips. They have been in flower for about 4 full weeks. Worried they may of been pollinated. I have only one other plant and it looks female with white pistils.
I couldn't notice any seeds. Have sprayed with need oil and pyhrthium. I'm almost certain pistils where browning very early on. But seems a lot more are now. Buds still seem to be growing and packing on some size.

You won't notice seeds that early. If you sprayed neem and pyhrthium then that's probably why it's browning. I personally wouldn't spray either during flower.

I was more worried why pistils tips where turning brown and if had been pollinated.
But 8 more weeks of flower. I assumed 8 weeks total so that is good to know as buds are small

Never go off breeder time to be fair. You're just starting to flower, give it a couple weeks and you'll see them build. Plant looks really nice by the way.

I agree with others, you have plenty of time left.
Even after most of the fan leaves turn colors and start to fall off... keep going.
You'll notice those pistils will brown off, and regrow multiple times. That occurs as the bud continues to mature.
Bare minimum (assuming this isn't auto) you're looking at 7/8 weeks of flower time.

Thanks. I look forward to watching. I was hoping there was only about 4 or 5 weeks left just so I could try some. Not a big deal.

The plant will reward your patience. Check back in 3 weeks or so with some pics and people can probably give you a better idea of how close you are.

Plenty of time remaining on this one. It looks pretty healthy, but very early in flower stage. Much of the plant will look like its the fall season and most if not all fan leaves will turn color/fall off. The buds will grow much more plump as well.

Out of curiosity, what country/area do you live in? You're growing outside with plenty of color and where I live, its still the middle of the winter. Heck, your marigold looks attractive too. I'm jealous!
