I noticed these plants hairs have turned a very dark brown, it looks odd but this is my first grow so idk. I am used to seeing more orange-like hairs. They are in late flowering and are almost done I believe. Is this normal or is this a bad sign?

havnt smelled anything weird or obvious. I did have some bud rot on many plants, which is when the hairs seemed to have started turning this color, but it was all cut off and at this point it's been a week since any bud rot has developed on the outside or inside areas of the buds. Many sucker leaves coming out of the bud have dyed and turned brown and also a lot of dying fan leaves. I know this is part of the life cycle but could the brown hairs be an effect of hot temps, high humidity, and insignificant water?

What medium are you growing them in? What's your root zone looking like? The fan leaves that are dying - are they fading to yellow first, or just going straight to dead? How often are you watering?

Edit: Just took another look at the picture. The leaves that I can see don't look healthy. How long has this been going on? Could be several things, hard to tell for sure. What can you tell us about your nutes and everything else you're doing?

Medium is fox farm soil mixed with extra perlite, small amount of cow manure, and dry nutrients including bone meal, blood meal, lime, epsom salt, and some other stuff I can't remember. I have used fish meal, cal-mag, and kelp extract mixed with many of the waterings. Not sure how to check root zone but the top soil was covered using mulch which has since mostly faded away. They don't seem to be yellow very long but do yellow first. Many yellow and brown at the same time(pic attached) and also many leaves are green with brown ends. They did undergo about A week without any water and a long period with insignificant water and could be still recovering, not sure on the exact numbers as I rely on rain much of the time but definitely could have used more water.
