Browning flowers?

**Malibu** · 06-08-12, 08:44 PM

Sorry for being a noob and not knowing the right terms but the flowers on my plants are turning brown, is this a sign of them coming to an end?

Your buds are going brown? Might be bud rot, pics would help...If it's the white hairs then your OK i guess.

sounds like bit of bud rot to me mate whats your humidity bin like some piks would be good

How far into flower are they?

Is it the Calyxes that are browning or the hairs??

Leafs or pistals? Pistals turning brown/amber is the plant coming to a end. I normally harvest when the pistals are 70% brown/amber. To make 100% sure when to chop you need a microscope to check the trichs

you mean your pistils turning brown? if so it's normal and could well be coming to the end..pics would be great?

he said the flowers so would say the bud itself but till he confirms its speculation

Are the pistils not a part of the flower?

Soz people, i mean the hairs are turning brown, not the actual bud, they are still nice and green.
5 weeks into flower
humidity is 40-60%

anyway you need to check the trics not the pistils really malibu to really know when they are nearly done
