What do the orange hairs indicate? + photo

    From my experience when i receive a strain with several orange hairs I feel pretty great about the strain but what does it really mean?

    The pistils are there to grab the pollen and act as a slide so that the pollen slips into the floral sheath where the seed will develop. However the plants are not mated so the pistils serve no purpose besides gender recognition and perhaps some aromas and flavors. They make that dirty/south west undertone in the taste that you would find most commonly in a strain like Afghani (which is awesome btw and has lots of orange hairs)

    The Trichomes are where the goodies are. Right on the buds packed full of crystals.

    All weed is unique and is very beautiful to look at and especially to grow. Those buds are just leaves packed right together like a puzzle to form buds.

    Praise the plant! :3

    P.s.
    They also help identify maturity (although Trichomes are better to inspect)

    They actually start white and change orange.

    It means that that particular strain has orange hairs in its flower genetics.
     
    Does not elude to strength.  I've seen ditch weed with orange hairs.
