Possibly pollinated. Any foliage sprays or pesticides?

How long has it been in flower? Did you scope the trichomes?
Not sure on flower time been a while. New grower didn’t think of keeping a log until now. I have 2 other different strain growing right along side that are beautiful. Only this one is looking odd.
I did look with the loupe and no pests. Thinking could harvest now but probably should go another week or two.
No spray or pesticides. I did fertilize 2 weeks ago with Formula 2 by Meigs. My research led me to also think pollination however I have 2 Purple panty droppers who are beautiful, growing right along side
If it has indeed been pollinated is it ok to cut and dry now?
It’s probably just genetics…..pistils can turn color for lots of reasons. It doesn’t look ready to the naked eye, as the calyces don’t appear swollen.
Usually if a plant is pollinated, the tips of the pistils will turn brown but not the entire pistil.
When did u get the plant? I’m assuming it was flowering when U received it? Were the pistils white? Strains can have a different look growing outdoors and pistil production can really vary.
Get yourself a $10 jewelers loupe and really examine the trichomes on inside of the buds….the ones on the bracts & calyces. Those are the trichs that matter. The leaf trichs degrade faster and will be cloudy band amber long before the buds are ripe.
Also, a pic of the whole plant would help. Good luck.
