yes! thank you rumandromanism. when i said my guess was that the hairs were the actual reproductive organs, that is exactly wat i meant. the pistils! so the pollen actually needs to reach the pistils in order to reproduce.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carpel

so, a female plant that is most "ripe for reproduction" will develop alot of hairs/pistils, thus increasing their chance to become pollenated! these plants will also develop high levels of THC/trichomes, thus making them more sticky, further increasing the chances of the plant catching pollen and reproducing.....its starting to allll make sense


my new conclusion...
so in terms of THC content, red hairs dont directly mean anything. abundance of red hairs could, however, be an indicator of "ripeness" (for lack of a better word), and "ripe" females typically produce many trichomes, which means HIGH THC!
