Brown Pistils 3 weeks into Flower?

For some reason got a plant with brown pistils 3 weeks into flower. All other plants are fine and have been on same feeding , watering schedule. Same critical kush seeds. Equal placement under lighting as other plants. Temps sit between 67 at night and 79 tops when lights on. Equal ventilation throughout grow room.
LED is about 18 inches from top of plant.
I do tend to water every 4 days or when plant droops but no more than 5 days. I nute every other watering at 2/3 to full strength Morebloom, 1-2 tspn calmag, 1-2 tspn mollases per gallon. Any suggestions?

#1: Skip the molasses. It's not doing anything for your synthetic grow. Besides, your cooking them with too high a P&K too much!

I might have used that "Morebloom" to try a one time a week at weeks 6-7, full strength, last minute PK "blast"...Alongside my "normal" bloom food...

I also see low Ir and S !! Get some Kelp extract in there right away, and I might even give them a foliar of a 1tsp per gallon Kelp to water mix (same as you water with) to get those micro's and vits in there pronto!

Choose a complete bloom with micro's or just use the kelp extract every feeding with the nutrient....

Yeah eh, on that molasses thing......It's only good for feeding the living microbes in an organic soil grow......and better to simply make AACT tea then use it in soils directly anyway!

So then, reduce the PK use.
Add some good micro nutrients ( in the kelp )
Lets see what it does over the next 7 days after you adjust.....

Can you measure the conductivity and the pH of the runoff?

The only way to balance out PK and most likely high Mg is Ca.

Are you in a soil, medium, coco? Hybrid?

That's what I'm thinking but what's throwing me off is the bud size compared to my other plants.

Bio chemistry is different in her 1st sign of any mold crop her early but till then keep treating her the same, brown indicas are a personally favorite of mine next to purple hybrids 2 best kinds for making ultimate couch lock herb :)

Thanks for the info. Here is a comparison between plants. All plants are from the same seed strain critical kush but there's that one plant with smaller buds and brown pistils. 1st image is one without the issue and second image is the one with brown.

There is a difference in smell. The brown one is more minty and barely any skunk. The albino one is pure skunk no mint in the smell of the plant that I could tell. The seeds were aquired from a close friend/mentor who produces crop for local dispensaries in town. I'd reach out to him but he's been out of town trying to open up lines of business in other cities. I don't wanna bother the guy over one plant.

depends what kush he used for the crossing, that brown one looks a bit like a burmese anyway there both nice plants but I`d be eyeing up that brown one for my own personal late harvest :p

All these r for personal but I will make sure to keep an eye on it after I feed them in the next day or so. Hopefully she's not pollinated and if she is then I'll just have more seeds to keep on rotation. I'll be happy to get an oz from each plant seeing that this is my first indoor attempt with lots of diy equipment running the grow.

It has been awhile since my seed making days... but it sure looks like she's been pollinated.
Any chance??

Do you examine the ones with brown hairs more often than the others? Ive seen hairs turn brown from too much contact with human hands.
