hi everyone!
so I planted these bag seeds in a 10 gallon pot, and i use bio-bizz for nutrients. when the plant was 4 weeks old and one foot tall it started pre-flowering. yesterday (one week after the pre-flowering) I found 6-10 pistils placed randomly on the plant, that are large and the hairs are dark orange. the rest of the plant (two feet tall now) is starting to flower now.
what is going on? did anyone have this problem before?

I cant post pic's because of state laws being strike but maybe some one has heard about this and knows what to do?

Why can't you post pictures?
Cannabis is illegal in most countries (and states I'd assume).

Anyway, pistils can randomly appear on a plant, are you sure you are looking at pistils and not something else?
Even if it is pistils that might still not be a problem, you can check the maturity of the plant by looking at the trichomes with a loupe or scope.
That will tell you when to harvest (based on your preference (strong and couchlock vs. energetic and cerebral).

In either case you shouldn't worry.

That is not a problem. It is completely ok that some turn orange. In the end they all will be like this. Dont worry. Your plants look perfectly normal. Mine get orange hairs all over them although they haven't started flowering yet...

They look fine to me. Is this your first ever grow? If so just take a step back & let them do their thing. Look nice & healthy, good job so far!

Are you sure it's not just the genetics of your plants?
Which strain are you growing?
Need more info to help properly :)

I didn't mean you should check for maturity I'm just saying that is how you do it.
Many people think the hairs turning orange is an indicator of maturity whereas it's really the trichomes which determine the maturity.


I looked at your pictures and your plants look fine.
The calyxes swell up during flowering and the pistils turn from white / milky to orange and dark orange during it's growth.
It's completely normal mate :)

Btw the hairs on your plants are not really orange yet, wait till' it gets a bit older and then you'll see the 'real' orange hairs ;)
