    Pink/red pistils - mid flower

    Got a few second gen. bag seed ladies at about 6 weeks into flower. A few of the top nodes on one plant have pistils turning pink-ish/red-ish in color. I put a few pics up. Is this normal? Should I kill this one to protect the others? Any comments/suggestions welcome.
