Pistels browning too early

Hey all, I'm coming into week 4 of flower and I'm a little concerned about the pistels browning way too early. Any suggestions as what this is? I'm using two different methods (soil and hydro) with different strains and it's affecting them all. I'm thinking perhaps I've got a hermie in there or maybe it's early signs of bud rot? Humidity is fine though, hasn't been higher than 50. Temps were hot recently, pushing 30c. I've never experienced this before. I am using a new LED light, I had used a smaller LED in the past and didn't experience this problem.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What strain? Maybe a long running Sativa?
Other things I can think of would be pollination. Sometimes heat stress can do it as well...

Only trich's will tell you the status of the THC and harvest time so I’d say focus on your trichs

maybe some other guys can chime in...

Hey BurntByFire,

They're San Bacio Gelato. Supposedly they're 75% Indica / 25% Sativa. 9-10 week flowering time. I don't recall ever seeing pistels browning this early before. It's also happening to a strain that's not from HSO.

They didn't get moved/knocked did they? that can make them discolour

Hey OJAE,

I have been defoliating quite heavily so I have been brushing up against them. I did this about 4 days ago. I hope it's that!

Any chance of pollination?

Not unless there's a hermie in there. I literally never go in as the feeding is automated. Only time I've been in there is to defoliate. Here's some more pictures.

I have read some strains just do that
