Pistils Turning Orange 2 weeks in!!!

[Hammer]

Hi hopefully someone will have a concrete answer or some first hand experience with this.

I am not even two weeks into flower and the pistils have turned orange. There are multiple strains and it is present on multiples.

Im growing under a fluence spydr x led and plants about 18 in from it.

Before listing every environmental variable id like to see if anyone has experience with this.

I have attached some pics

I've had outdoor plants in super windy hallway like area and they've always curl and dye like that mostly on the outer side of the plant and new pistils will always keep forming. I doubt that's your case cause you are indoors

Hey hammer, enviro factors will help. From the pics the pistils are all out and not receded, which is good. That alone tells me you're far from harvest. Have you checked the trichomes with a loupe? If they're clear I'd keep on trucking. Hopefully someone who experienced this will chime in.

Perfectly normal....

I've had very fast brown and shrivel pistils on photo period grows, but more like week 4 on a 10 week flowering strain. They turned out fine with no major issues. I lean towards what Green says (no worries).

Means you are growing killer weed!

Watch out for the reefer madness!!

Glad this was asked. I was also kinda paranoid on this matter.
I'd say i'm about half way though flowering, still got quite a few weeks left, and already noticed some pistils turning orangish brown.
No frost yet. Just some orange hairs. But your budlets have a LOT more orange hairs than mine. I'd say about 25% of my pistils are orangey.

Hi thanks for all who reviewed this post and made a comment. It is nice to hear some people say "all is good " however call me a stick in the mud I really need an explanation on the physiological processes that are causing this. Why is this happening when previous to this grow on the last batch there were no orange hairs until much later in the flowering cycle. It would be awesome if anyone knows the deep down truth behind this.

It's no mystery, it's what some strains do, some earlier than others. It does not mean they are done yet, the trichomes tell you that.
