Black spots around trichomes?

I haven't seen any thrips or much of any bugs besides fungus gnats. I just got a microscope to look at the trichomes because I'm close to flowering. Anybody know why these trichomes look black? Is that from the necrosis on the leaf?

I definitely overloaded the soil and I have a post Here with full plant shots. I was just wondering if other color trichomes meant anything. Buddha might be right and the trichomes is taking the color of the leaf because the leaves are dying and that leaf had necrosis.

That isn't what he said at all.
 
Leaf holds chlorophylls, anthocyanins, carotenoids, and betalains which allow plants, flowers, and fruits, their brilliant colors ranging from pink through scarlet, purple, and blue , etc.

Trying not to deep dive on this with flavonoids , Xanthophyll and a vast number of components involved. Way too nerdy.
Bottom line plant will express traits and colors - carry on.
