hairs turning brown?

i no a picture would help but I don't have a camera so I will describe my concerns...
I have a bag seed that I grew and its about 12 feet looking like a very Sativa dom. so I am thinking a 10-12 week flower period its about on its 6th week. looks a little skimpy compared to my others that are 6 weeks in as well, but most likely an 8 week overall period.
My main concern it that it could be a herm.. but have found no evidence. Its not a lot of brown hairs either so maybe its just a natural occurrence.
Also I have heard the hairs will turn brown if the female has been pollinated. I have been checking my other plants for hermi, but nothing. The possibility of pollen hitting my plants is some what low becuase I am working in a Screenhouse (walls and roof made up sunscreen fabric), but not impossible.
Any thoughts?

i had the same thing happen to my last grow and mine turned out to be a hermie and all my shit was FULL of seeds, the buds turned out pretty shit too..lets hope yours turns out much better than mine did
 
I had a similar problem this year, with a few bubblegum plants. There were a few seeds in the plant, about 20 total i could find in 5 ozs. But also minimal mold in a few spots.

I think it may be pollination. Some of the brown hairs fell right out of the calyxes really easily too with minimal irritation. How far are you from harvesting?

Check it out...look in one of the buds and see if there is seed in the weed. Turning brown is normal for allot of plants.

Did the hairs shrinking back into the buds? Or did you notice?

If youve done a deep inspection and didnt find any male flowers, i wouldnt worry about. If its a hermi you would find the male pollen sacks poking out somewhere. Every once in awhile when i get a hermi I just pull off the male parts and let the plant finish, I think last the one I had that I pulled the male parts off only ended up get like 2 seeds out of the 4oz the plant produced. Some times the hairs on plants turn red prematurely: some times its strain specific, environmental issues (wind,rain etc...), or they could be pollinated (which I dont think yours is) but if your still worried about seeds once your calyx's begin to swell squeeze one in between your fingers and see if theres any seeds in there. Just my two cents
