Why bud hairs turn brown prematurely?

Typically on any Strain the first pistills and preflowers that show are the first to die. So its very common to see some withered pistills at the halfway point of flowering. Peace DLB
yup...DrLongbottom said:
Here's a pic of an unseeded bud 46 days in flower under not quite ideal conditions. My temps are a wee bit high, highs running 85-88F w/ 400 hps. Not much I can do about it tho...
We see mixed pistils, approx. 50/50... this is not abnormal. As long as new clumps of white pistils are emerging and trichs are still clear/cloudy she is still growing and ripening. The bud pic'd will fatten up quite a bit yet as those new pistils/calyxes keep emerging over time...
My 2 cents: she's just fine, no need to worry. Unless all the pistils are withered with no white ones - IMO that would take pollination to see at such an early stage.
If she looks like this, no worries...
Peace

Also foiliar feeding can do this and even spray for mites. Although you should not spray so late into bud, but some people still use non chemical sprays which is okay to use. Or like suggested above, pollination. But some dying off I have found is normal. Just my input on the matter - hope all goes well and good luck.

Lots has to due with strain as a lot of skunks like skunk 1 have lots of red hairs. Afghanica was the same way for me, huge buds that looked great but was a med high and not much flavor.
