Just some fan leaves turning yellowPistils turning brown will naturally happen, also this tends to happen earlier when your growing outdoors, as long as its happening slowly and the plant is still producing flower, your good. A few yellowing die off leaves are fine, but if the whole plant is turning yellow you may need to feed it
If it's still as young as it appears and it's yellowing it needs some nitrogen fertilizer, I suggest using some compost top-dressed around the plant and if you can find something like Osmocote in your location (slow release organic fertilizer) then that would be my primary recommendation for you here.
If the pistils are turning brown there may be a few reasons, rain and cold are not those reasons in my experience. Pollination or something that has been sprayed are usually the reasons, and after that then there are pests which cause this.
It is difficult to find fertilizers here. I cannot even find good soil. It is a very secluded place and far away from civilization. The plant hasn't been sprayed with anything. It is growing completely naturally after I set it out.Pollination is not an option unless it is being pollinated by something different growing around the plant. I will try finding something when I go downtown. I will ry the flower shop, maybe they have something, although it is very unlikely that I do.
Can the plant due to colder temperatures think the winter has come?
Will keep you guys posted
Alright then, how about manures? Chicken, duck, goose, cattle, whatever you can find. If it's fresh, make it into a tea. It will stink, badly. Don't splash the tea onto the plant. A decent tea can be made by putting the manure into a bucket and covering it with a few inches of water and letting it steep overnight. Also, urine is the perfect fertilizer (most people don't want to hear it), dilute starting around 1:10 urine:water, and go up or down as the plant responds. Wood ashes may also be helpful as they'll provide K for the plant.It is difficult to find fertilizers here. I cannot even find good soil. It is a very secluded place and far away from civilization.

I agree, I think it looks very good.
At this point you will want to start treatments for possible bud worms. Are you able to get a hold of Bacillus thuringiensis and/or Spinosad?
51*F won't hurt it, just slows things down.
Well then.... I'll need to think on this. I'm sure you could get a hold of a variety of hot peppers, yes? Garlic? I'm just not sure if these things are effective against the moths that would lay the type of caterpillar that will eat and ruin the buds. And if it's a place you have to visit, I'm not sure that you could easily drape her with something like mosquito netting, but! if you can, that's what I would start doing now. She shouldn't grow too much larger from this point out, she should spend her energy growing flowers now.I am not able to get a hold on anything here. I live in the mountains in an isolated place. Just monks and nuns around here or within 100 miles range
Army surplus store should have camo netting
I use a VPN serviceWhat about the monk and nun surplus store???
@Nijini Nice looking plant for sure. Are you able to access thcfarmer in China???

Mosquito netting, tulle, something like that, will be a pretty good physical barrier and could solve a host of problems for you. But, would it be too conspicuous? If so, then you're just going to have to let her run naked. The chicken (or duck, or cow or horse or rabbit) poo thing is a good one. That said, she looks as though she's lacking for not a thing right now.
Brother, she's just gettin' started. You've got a couple of months to go just about, I'd say. Maybe six weeks. She is really gonna be a looker!Some new photos from today. 1 month since the pistils started to appear. How long more to harvest would you think?
