I have 4 plants 4 1/2 weeks into flowering. they all seem to be doing good but the smallest 1, the white hairs on the top bud are starting to turn reddish. I was just wondering if its normal or maybe its a diff strain or some shit. i dunno.

nah my cam just shit the bed like a week ago but one of my bigger healthier ones is starting to do the same. It looks like all the white hairs are starting to turn into orange hairs so maybe that just means bangin buds r soon to come

just a noob here, but I think it is normal for the hairs to turn orangey/red, although I thought it usually happened later into flowering?

Although I guess it could just be the strain ur growing is orangebud or something?

Although as I say I am a noob so dont base too much on what I say!

I'm sure if the plants are all still looking healthy and strong it isn't a problem

well .. if you have ever smoked weed before you can see that the red/orange hairs are normal.. and they will turn that color throughout flowering, nothing strange or out of the ordinary, but read up some more as to when you should harvest, by count of trichomes

The plant may have gotten pollinated. Any males or hermies in there? They will turn brown after polination.

no the 1st sign of males i removed them. no herms. I was actually reading High Times last night and i read something that was talking about when to harvest and was saying that the white hairs on the buds will go from white to an orangish and then to a red. but then under it also said about checkin the trichromes for a more exact time of harvest.
