So Ive had this same issue in this tent before I've been giving the same nutes and same environment as the plants in the tent next to it and had no issues with them idk if it's the light causing this or what but I'm at week 5 of flower and almost all my pistils have turned and the buds aren't all that big either I was thinking it could have been because of a lockout so I've flushed my medium the past few waterings I know the buds aren't ready and I'm trying to get them to put off white pistils again the calyxes are swelling but no new pistils idk what's going on I've been growing for over a year have only had this issue once before never found out what the culprit was my temps fluctuate from 75 during lights on to 65 when lights out and anywhere from 55% to 45% rh anyone got any ideas

Not trying to get you to bite I'm telling you it's not from pollenation I've grown enough to know what a pollenated plant looks like no signs of intersex trates or seeds forming I'm not looking for easy answers you can look up on google for pistils dying early I've grown hundreds of plants it has to be something else

Your leaves look very waxy!

Waxy to the point of overloading N.

could be too heavy N is hindering the flower formation and causing early onset pistil receding.

but I’m with @Herb & Suds could also be pollination.

Well as I said I know it's not pollenation that caused this and I'm aware that my leaves have signs of N toxicity that's why I warranted the flush so you think pistils will resume once the lockout is resolved

possibly it’s hard to tell.

but you seem to know exactly what it’s not rather than what it is yet you’ve experienced issues like this since October 2020 but it’s not pollination because you said there ain’t no males or hermies anywhere.

Have you heard that plants can throw out bananas that carry male pollen in them? That can be hidden out of sight?

But wait you know for definite it’s not pollination right.

good luck.

What were you feeding them and at what EC?

I'm feeding them heavy 16 base, koolbloom, plant revolution microbes and fish shit and never over 1000 ppm the base A is pretty heavy on nitrogen I try to feed every other watering but I'm sure I double down sometimes just being lazy and forgetful lol

I agree they look pollinated. Most of the top calyx’s look fully swollen (seeds) this early in flower.

Everyone stuck on the pollination route because it's an easy answer I'm telling you theyre are no seeds or bananas or pollen sacs I've looked thoroughly poked around on the buds no seeds in the calyxes this happened to a plant in this tent on one of my previous grows after all was said and done didn't find a single seed in the buds so I'm looking for different answers

Pistils recede if you touch them too much.

Sounds like you’ve been molesting them lol.

Look I know what it looks like but I just wish people would take me at my word when I say it's not from pollenation I want some other ideas of what could cause early pistil oxidation you think I would post a thread on here if it was something as simple as a herm or a rogue banana pollenating the whole plant as I've stated a few times checked everything and that's not the case I did check my run off ppm and it was over 2000 and I've never fed over 1k ppm so could this be the culprit I've read somewhere that using a flushing agent can help speed up the process of fixing a lockout any ideas
