Very orange hairs at week 6 under LED

I’ve used HPS for the last few years and recently made the switch to LED
my room is 1.8m x 2.4m and I have X2 400watt led light bars, these were recommended to me as the best available on the market by the supply store owner, I have been extremely happy with the quality of them thus far, amazing light penetration and excellent node spacing.
my question is, why are my hairs so orange at only week 6? I have never seen this under HPS before, I am using the same coco substrate and the same base nutrients from the canna line.
plants are otherwise happy and healthy and coming along nicely.

Are the hairs receding into swolen sacs or are they just red? It could be an early maturing plant or could just be the strain.
do you have a picture at all, a picture paints a thousand words

First pics = pineapple chunk
Second pics = blue cheese
X3 BC X1 PC
We’ve been using this pineapple chunk strain for years and we’ve had bottle sized buds from them but they always had a tendency to keep white pistils right up until week 9 - 10 however under the leds it’s only week 6 and the majority of the pistils are orange.
as for the blue cheese it’s only my third time flowering it and I have read differing flower times from 7 weeks upto 9 weeks
By the looks of the ones I have at the moment they do seem to be a fast maturing strain, perhaps the leds sped it up some? Cheers for the reply bro

This is the last blue cheese harvest
( last run of the HPS before led swap )
I turned the current plants earlier than usual as our cycle went out of sync during lock down hence why they are below scrog net level, not ideal

Doesn't look like anything is falling over so no harm no foul right? Looks good, but its all in the dry and cure. So many people get impatient and wonder why their buds smell like a hay field or don't have the potency they expected
