Flowering, Little popcorn bud trichs are amber?

Im only 3-4 weeks into flower on a set of blue dream. (first grow)

Everything is going smooth sailing till I noticed yesterday that one of the little popcorn buds on one of my plants,
was turning amber. Why would this ONE tiny bud, on ONE plant, be finishing? Is that normal?


Their lights are still out, but once they come on today I can snag a picture.

Any input on this?

Thanks!

Some parts of the plant mature faster than others...usually from the top tho....and never a blue dream at week 4....I wouldn't worry bout it.

what he said^^^

What exactly is turning 'amber'? You talking pistols or trichomes?

Yeah you still have 4-5 weeks of flower left to go with Blue Dream.

I'm a n00b, but I've heard it will start doing that about mid way, but to wait for about 75% of them to turn amber color before it's ready...I guess some mature faster IDK..

After going over the cannabis terminology one more time, I was wrong with how I asked this.
The parts of the plants still at times are confusing to me.

The pistols ARE what is turning amber. IE the little hairs on the bud itself?


With that being said, Does this change the scenario?

Thank you for asking this, had me back in the books trying to figure if I even knew what the hell I was talking about. haha

It was a little harder for my camera to pick up the color difference of what I was trying to say. But with the Triplet it showed nicer.

I did however was able to super enlarge these and got to see the trichomes easier

Those almost look like they may have been pollinated in pic one. Sure you dont have a hermi or male about? Not trying to scare you but I would take a close look. Even if it is pollinated and its just a few lower bud sites not really going to cost you anything in the grow.

as ^^ said something dosent look right about them buds

The dreaded answers.
I would have to check in the morning.

These all started as clones from a mother but that plant in particular worried me a couple weeks back prior to flower.
I noticed the nodes were starting to look funny compared to the others. No "balls" every appeared, but the nodes were swollen.

Still to this day, that same plant the pics were from, the nodes are swollen. I just went through them earlier today checking all of them due to a gnat problem and didnt notice anything out of the ordinary other than that bud. I will go back through tomorrow with each plant and make sure no hermies or males popped up in there and get some pictures of that plant in specific IE the swollen nodes.

Well I decided to search around and read a lot about this. Anyone want to verify if what I found is true?

I read that if you brush up against a bud or touch it, it could cause the pistils to turn color?
I also read that too much bloom stimulants could cause it? (i am using bud candy, 6ML x 1Gal, Each plant gets 1/2 Gal)

If there is no hermie or male in there, could that be a cause? I also introduced CargoLoad by Nutrifield this last watering but believe they were browning prior to that and again, 1 plant out of 6 doing it. and only 2 buds on that plant doing it.
