Need help, dead buds?

[Juggler]

These plants are at week 4 - 5 of flower, they are not happy especially one at the front.
the white hairs on the buds where looking great 2 weeks ago but then they started to go orange and as you can see they have gotten worse very quickly and now they shredding the orange hairs.
the other 2 have also had the white hairs going orange but not as much.
But it's been this week that I noticed the leaf colour, the front one is the worse the back right has something going on too

Any help would be great

Give us the details of your grow. Those flowers look pretty good to me. Not sure what you're worried about. The pistils turning orange is part of the process. I'm assuming those are photo period plants? at 4-5 weeks of flower? They look about right for that.

Pics 9, 10 and 12 could be bud rot, examine them closely, are they gooey inside, smell of mold, or could there be a seed in them? All else looks great.

Have you been rough with them?
I've found that reach in and g around to do stuff near the plants and rubbing against the flowers will usually cause an early change in pistol pigments.

I don't see anything wrong with them. Looks like they are getting close to harvesting. Start checking the trichomes. The white hair turning orange is a good sign. It means tthey are getting ripe.

Kinda early at five weeks though, don't ya think?
Juggler, have you searched the plant(s) for nanners or seeds?

I second the general consensus...the pistils will turn orange and brown this time of the grow, especially if they've been touched or bumped while you've been caring for them. Perfectly normal.

If you're at week 4-5, you probably still have at least 3-4 weeks left. There looks to be a little light burn on the tips of some of the leaves so you might consider adjusting the light (raising the fixture or decreasing the intensity) since it's a little early for those leaves to start turning.

But! Be ready for the leaves to start changing from that nice deep green to yellows, oranges, and maybe even purples depending on the strain. Cannabis plants are like many other crops. If you've driven by corn fields, as they get ready for harvest, they essentially turn brown and die. It's all part of the process and it's good to see you're noticing these changes! Rest assured that from what I see, it looks like everything is as it should be.

Hmmm. do you have a male anywhere?

Thanks for the replies.
when I saw that the pistols changing to orange at week 2, that was my first thought that they have been pollinated but I can't see any sign of hermaphroditing.

there are no seeds that u can see

I unable to raise light any higher or turn it down at its not dimmerable.

I guess I just have to see how they finish
thanks again
