yes, the pistils start changing very early in flower in small but noticeable ways and they do start changing color. You are no where near the end of bloom yet, and in the upcoming 3 weeks or so your buds will swell dramatically from where they are now. At around week 6-7 you will notice that maybe 60% of your pistils will have changed, but be patient and wait for the trichomes to tell you when she is done, or be patient and wait for the very last white pistil at the top of the plant to change over... those two things happen at roughly the same time.just Entering week 5 how come my hairs are starting to change and the buds didn’t swell yet? Is this normal ?
Regarding the comment about the troubling picture... it does seem that you are having a bit of a problem up at the top. I am curious at what level of MC you are running to be causing this, or if what we saw in that one picture is just a trick of the light and not a problem at all.

looks like a bit of a calcium deficiency at first glance, cause unknown.

Well, that has to be part of the problem. I am the wrong person to ask though, since I don't run those nutes. I would consult the published feeding chart for your grow medium... don't get confused between the hydro and soil instructions. Find out what they recommend to put into the mix, at what pH they tell you to adjust it to, and whether they recommend feeding once and watering twice. You say that other plants are doing well, so you are not too far off what needs to be done, but consider this small problem as a warning that you might need to adjust some things. I would get to the recommended levels and see what that does for your grow. Once you have established that base line, then we can look to see if you need to add anything else.

It is called backbuilding cuts, usually done at the start of week 5. It will cause the buds to develop a bit differently and I doubt these little cuts are going to cause much of a problem.

oh wait... did you just snip off all of the pistil producing calyxes all around the plant or did you snip of the very top of the buds? I did not see any 'nanners' in what you chopped out of there. Is someone advising you to do this?

oh good... backbuilding is fun... I do it all the time. Hmmm.. maybe that is a nanner... if there are any more I would be upset.
