Hey all, first grow, started flowering my 4 bag seed plants on the 21st december 2013 and from what I can tell they are all female and looking really good thus far...
My confusion and problem is that the preflower pistils on my most mature plant (one that showed sex first) have started browning and shriveling from the bottom of the plant upwards, the browning starts from the tip of the white pistil and receeds downwards until the whole pistil has become a brown shriveled little hair. I have done extensive research and have found contradicting view points, some say its normal and is just the preflowers dying off due to lack of pollination and is just an indication of sexual maturity but have also seen many saying this is a sign of pollination :( so how do u differentiate between the two? I am certain that none are male and am 98% sure I have no hermies either.
If someone could clarify whether its normal for preflowers to do this it would give me a lot of peace of mind, i'm kinda stressing since i'm not sure if this is ok or not
Thanks for any feedback and guidance :)
