Hi guys!

Fairly new to the game.

The setup:

Strain: Barneys Blue Cheese

Light: Lumatek 600w Zeus pro

Nutes: Atami Soil mix A-B (4ml\l for A and 5ml\l for B), Atami Bloombastic (1ml\l) , Atami Blossom builder (1ml\l), Atami Bloom Stimulator (1ml\l, CalMag 0.5 ml\l)

EC: Around 1.4 (around 800-900 PPM if my convertion chart is correct)

EC in soil runoff: About 0.9

PH: 6.4 (PH runoff 6.3)

Temp: 24-26 Celcuis with lights / 20c in darkness

Humidity: 48-55%

Distance from light to tops: About 60cm (25 inches)

Air circulation: 4 fans on at all times.

It's all been going quite smoothly thus far. But the last couple of days, one of my girls have really started to get a lot of brown pistils. I know some are normal
at this stage, but it's the amount on the one plant that is starting to worry me a bit. Im sure the pictures speak for them self in regards to what im talking about. But does anyone have an idea what causes this? i've read that having powerfull fans close to plants can cause somewhat of an simular effect, seeming how the plant that has been affected the most is also the one closest to a big fan. Mites have also been a suspicion, but i won't get a hold of a microscope until tomorrow and know for sure.

Thanks!

Did you try and spray for the mites? That'll disolor pistil's every time.
Otherwise, they look great, don't worry too much (except for the mites, death to mites!)

If it's turned that fast I'd be worried too. Fans can cause it. Lighting issues can cause it-light burn/stress. Touching buds can do it. Temp fluctuations can cause shock that can turn them fast. Nutrient problems, or root problems can cause it. Bugs can cause it-mites. And some are just like that. I had one pheno that around week 5/6 it would start to turn all red hairs but continue to grow new pistils and ripen that way. I thought something was wrong but none of the other plants did it and all the clones of that plant did the same. Kinda bugged me but it was still good smoke that yielded fine.
If you don't have other issues and can rule out bugs, it's probably fine.

Thanks for the replies guys!

The temp is pretty even at all times, so i would rule that out.
I don't touch the buds.
I've got plants that are higher than the one with brown hairs that have way whiter pistils, so it can't be lightburn.
The EC and PH water runoff is perfectly normal in regards to what im feeding
The only two things left are mites or being to close to the fan. Removed the fan in question
and im getting a microscope to search for mites today. I'll keep you posted :)

Checked all buds with a microscope with 100x zoom. Saw nothing that moved around in there. Probably just the fan that was to close to the plant...im hoping
