Pistils and bud ripeness, as midlifecrisis said, have little to do with each other. Heat can cause premature browning, while the trichomes are still clear. And at only 1/3 pistil brown-ness, under stress-free conditions, I'm usually looking at just starting the flush period, because I'm expecting another 1-2 weeks before harvest.
