if it is the pistols that are amber...with time the rest will turn amber....Well most of them...No pics because it's hard to really tell exactly what it looks like just by saying red hairs

should i stop giving it fert. and give water only or what?

no, if your plants are healthy why would you rape them of there nutes?! Whenever the pistols grow sometimes a few stray ones will turn amber, it's completely natural. As time progresses and the buds get bigger and swell the hairs will all start turning amber letting you know it's getting mature. As the plants reach it's peak for harvest a lot of times 80% or more of the white hairs will be amber color, but the only real way to tell when to harvest is to look at the trichomes through an at least 30X microscope.
