Is this pollinated or is this normal?

Is this pollinated or is this normal with landrace sativas? Only on day 60.

From what I see in your picture: The pistils (hairs) are long, thin, and turning reddish/brown in places. This can be a sign of cold temperatures especially during night time or too intense light/high temp during the day. The calyces (the small pods at the base of the pistils) don’t look swollen like they would if they were filled with seeds. I don’t see obvious signs of seeds forming (pollination usually makes the calyces rounder and you can sometimes see the outline of developing seeds). For landrace sativas, it’s normal for them to take much longer to mature compared to modern hybrids. At day 60, many pure or near-pure sativas are still in mid-flower, with pistils cycling through white to amber/red as the plant continues building buds. It’s common for them to "throw" lots of new hairs over time. Signs of pollination you’d watch for: Rapid browning and receding pistils. Noticeably swollen calyces with seed development. Less resin production and energy going into seed growth instead of flowers. Based on your photo, this looks more like normal sativa flowering behavior than pollination. At this point (day 60), especially with a landrace-type sativa, you’re still in the early to middle flowering phase, and it could easily go 14–20 weeks total. I hope that helped 😘

i just want to say this for perspective... i joked about an sts-applied fem breeding cycle and there were anthers just lying on the buds, lol... i figured it was knocked up for sure... i posted a silly question and everyone, including me, thought it was pollinated. The plant didn't have 1 fucking seed and everyone was wrong. Power of suggestion is strong... pistils die after pollination, so if it happened recently you would not see any seed developing. unless a seed is physically popping out of the end of a calyx because it grew so large, it's difficult to tell with the eye. fat calyxes happen regardless. it takes several weeks for seeds to develop into anything substantial. hope it isn't seeded, either way.

Looks totally normal, not pollinated. Some strains just throw out really long pistils, especially sativa leaning ones. They stretch out like that when the buds are still searching for pollen. As long as you don’t see swollen calyxes with seeds forming, you’re all good

thats plant is slender man. I think you need to give it more intense light next time you grow it. or only do it outside. Looks like a problem child indoors. I agree with others. not typicaly to be browing up like that. lilkey dmage of somesort.

Hmm stigma will go dark brown at the tip then all over if fertilized. Normally they would go more a shade of orange or lighter brown. Begins to die back, turning brown and shrivelled. Wouldn't worry sometimes landraces can look very different In how they develop compared to what we come to expect.

Too early for rusty stigmata. So, could be environmental - wind damage? light damage? Easy to rule that stuff out. Spray anything weird on the plant? If you can't find a reason in the environment, pollination is definitely possible. Start scouring plants for pollen sacs... a nanner or two wouldn't typically do much damage as they don't often produce much viable pollen.
