ok, well how would i know for sure if its mites or not, that way i can act accordingly?
a good scope...there are some decent 150x ones out there that are pretty inexpensive then examine the underside of leaves.

No outside linking, gotta upload to the farm.
I would, in a heartbeat (and have). I don't think it's hermies in this case, for some reason, though.sorry dude but in your case id hope for a hidden herm in the lower nugs mites are truly a growers bane. you can check some of the calyxs on the lower nugs for a seed developing. spraying your plants with cold water 30 to 45 min before lights on will neutralize pollen but i wouldnt do that past the 5th week imo.
are you hitting 90 plus?
I' ve had the co2 burn, ripens the hairs overnight.But that was with a manual co2 set up, if you give them a big blast of co2, and it doesn't have to be for long. It will flip those hairs quick.
The low temps and high humidity sounds like it could be the cause. Plus you have a 20 degree diff between lights on and off. The low temp at lights off, i use to finnish, helps ripen my babies up.plus can bring out color. the moisture in the water will cling to the hairs and low temps will put a hurtin on em. your at week 4 you do not want the cooler nights yet. but 61 is not too low, its the 88% humidity...yowza
Thing is it usally takes longer to show with the cooler temps, the 12-20 hours fits more with the co2 burn. no co2 leaks?
whats she smell like? and new growth? new hairs?
mites dont normal effect the hairs to turn.
High temps you usually get leaf curl.
Just seen the pics, the leaves look ok, doesnt look mite infested.
Is it occuring on tops or all buds like some lower tucked away buds?
Dub you said that the browning of the pistols is on the lower part of the plant and you also mentioned that they were big girls.
I have noticed in the past that when i dont skirt larger plants with a dense canopy sometimes the lower pistols turn red or brown early. Which I assumed was due to lack of light penitration.
If it is only at the lower sites you may in the future just want to cut out the shaded areas. But I would like to see a picture of the whole plant and its density up top before making that recomendation.
