For Starters. Is it all the buds or just a couple?

If it is all of them.. Its either weird or one of the reasons that may apply to general areas of them..

Too much food is always a good starter

Hairs do that once they have been jizzed upon (herms)

Too much light

And what i know, too much airflow can cause such a thing. As in the parts closest to the fan...

GOODLUCK

from what i seen earlyer it looked like all the buds were turning red
ive been giving it the same amount of nutes as my last crop and they never did this
and what do u mean by the hermie part?
i have 8 plants under the light its only 600w hps and its on 12/12

Honestly, if you feel like the plant is otherwise healthy and you are sure you are not over feeding..

Only other things that come to mind are temperature. And type of nutes. For example ive used to AN and noticed that this happens around the same time as you are saying but everything turns out fine.

If its soil maybe do a flush.

But IMO if all of said things seem to be good to you. I think the plants are fine and just keep on doing what you are doing.

And in my experience turn out better than you can imagine.

Goodluck my man.

The last thing that i would do is..

A) Have someone look at them now and then not again for a couple of weeks and see what they say

or

B) If there is no one, which is good. Take a picture this week of sample area then again in another week or 2 and compare..

The idea being to see how this (problem) is progressing.


But if it is worst case scenario.. Ride it out and you will still come out with some good bud. Even if its got a few seeds.

so u guys think the plants that got stressed pollinated these plants? if so the buds should start growing the yellow flowers soon right?

Not sure what you're talking about without pics, but many of my ladies show red and orange hairs in mid flowering stage, it's not uncommon at all. I wouldn't worry too much about it, it might not be a problem at all...although pictures would help to determine if we're talking about the same thing.

In my experience, when the hairs brown that early, it generally means pollination, either by a male or the plant hermied.

In the middle of the bud on the right in the close up, it looks like there might be a tiny seed forming. I would check really close.
