So, this is my first grow. I'm going into week 5 of flowering tomorrow. I'm using an aeroponics setup and the browning pistils are on my White Widow ladies. Nutrients are Advanced Nutrients Sensi Bloom two part, concentration is about 1600-1700, pH of 5.5-6.1 depending on how long it's been since I've refilled the reservoir. Lately I've been filling it half full and adding a gallon or so every day to keep it more stable and reduce the danger of another catastrophic leak (long story).
So, a couple weeks ago in one of my pictures of the buds, I noticed that there were a few brown patches on the pistils at the tips, but only on a couple of the buds and the patches were pretty small. Well, now the brown patches are on most of the buds and it's effecting far more pistils on each bud. Some of the pistils are now completely turned.
I read that this could be a result of a nutrient deficiency, but my leaves all look really healthy. The box they're growing in does get very hot, up to 37c during the day cycle. I've been trying to improve ventilation but I've just got too much plant in too little of a box. Chalk it up to a first time grower's mistake.
I also know that the pistils will start to change color and recede as harvest gets closer, and I am starting week 5 of flowering, but I started noticing a little bit of this as early as 2 or 3 weeks in, so I really don't know.
Attached are some close up cropped pictures of the buds. If you want pictures of the leaves you'll have to wait until they wake up, their night lasts until 11:30 PM CST. I can also upload them at a much higher quality than these forums allow if somebody can point me to a safe third party image hosting site.
Thanks for the help guys.
