unless you are not actually seeing brown pistils but some sort of natural dark color like purple, the reason for pistils drying prematurely were already listed.
either its too hot, too dry, too much wind, or they are pollinated.

Wow, that's quite a list but it will really help pin-point the issue. Awesome stuff, there.
Tony, could you put up a whole-plant picture and some pictures of various buds from various angles?
