Sometimes but not always it can indicate that they are seeded if im not mistaken. I had a few in my grow early on but they are hardly noticeable now with all the white. I wouldnt worry too much, just keep an eye on them.

sometime the nutes if to strong will burn the pistils...start off like 1/4 strength at first and see how she likes it..then work up to 1/2 and so on..also if you foliar spray with some kelp it helps bring them alive...not the ones that brown but the new growth...kelp works wonders on new growth and flowers...

I was going to mention the possibility of pollination, if you had any males around that's typically what happens when they get pollinated. However, if that's the case you should see those hairs curl and recede. Otherwise it could just be the strain, I had that concern (pollination) with a new strain last round, hairs went red right after the flowers popped. Turns out it's just the strain (Pure Power Plant or PPP), half the hairs were white, half were reddish-brown. Just watch it but unless you had some males around or are pulling air in from outside you should be fine.

Sometimes it happens, doesn't really mean anything. If it's still growing the way they normally do a few red hairs here and there isn't going to hurt it.
