ahhh correction, they actually DO have white hairs, just on top they are extremely short, or hugging the bud itself. I think the yellow color is just because of the hps light. but still, I'm curious as to why they arent shooting out the top, and if it will affect size or quality of those specific buds. and sorry man, I dont have a digital camera, and wouldn't think it wise to take a roll of film in :] next grow I'll try to post a log. actually...if I can find my webcam, I'll bring one out and take a pic of it tomorrow. but the webcam is horrible quality, all fuzzy and orange hued.
