They turn brown which can mean its comming to an end of the grow when the pistols are around 80% brownish its wise to harvest :)

pistols are supposed to turn brown and wilt back into the seed pod (calyx), and the leaves may also turn color and fall off.

But the the buds aren't near peak ripeness until the trichomes start to turn amber (30% more or less depending on personal preference).

If you don't plan on buying a scope, at least get a magnifying glass, and harvest when the trichs look like this.

That's early for turning brown. Are they actually the older per-flower pistils?

I'd think if my very top pistils were turning, and others weren't, that it could have something to do with light, or heat? Just a guess, though.
