mites are little black specs on the underside of the leaves. small enough you can almost smash them with your fingers. also on the top parts of your leaves there will be little white specs. thats where they suck the juices from your plant and take poop. most likely not mites though.

no i havent checked for mites what do i look for?
Leaves will generally have small white spots on the top-sides. To confirm, I like to use at least a 30X jeweler's loupe (if you don't have one, get one...you'll need to check trics later anyway). Look on the undersides of the leaves during lights on period. If spider mites, you will generally see eggs and mature mites...the mites DO look an awful lot like mini spiders.

why are the leafs curling in and has funny looking color on it
Without more information, I would also agree in saying high heat and possible overwatering. You really need to give more information about your set up, nutes - how often, what kind, etc., lighting, fans...anything you can think of that will help diagnose your issue.

Re: Mites . . . hold a card, envelope, etc under the leaf and flick it (the leaf). Mite's might fall off so you can see them. Bottom webbing between the main stalk and the branches, close in, also an indicator.

The reason I didn't suggest heat/water issues is because you got them this far along w/o this issue, so why would it just start out of the blue? (unless ur somewhere where it's late spring and heats new to the formula)

recheck the pistils further down the plant.

you wont see pollen particles and when the pollen sacks(nuts) open they will drop pollen on to the lower buds causing the pistils to brown and shrivel.
sorry for your bad luck and i know its heart breaking as its happened to me only from bad seed genetics and i was gutted,
