Preflower pistils emerging orange?? What?

I’m new to cannabis growing, but not gardening. I have seven female bag seeds growing very well. They are going to be outdoor grows in 1.5 weeks, and they spend most days outside, coming inside in the evenings and spending a few hours under daylight 100-watt equivalent LED bulbs. Get 16-18 hours of light a day. Temps are steady between 65-75. Humidity 50-60%.

They are nearly six weeks old from planting. Since moving to one gallon bags a couple weeks ago, they are in a mix of Fox Farms OF and ProMix with a little added perlite. I’m not feeding them. Water about every 5-6 days, whensoil is dry about two inches down.

They just started to develop preflowers this week. Super exciting! Today, I was able to sex them. Most of the ladies have yet to develop pistils. This one, a Blue Dream, had a pistil shoot out of two different preflowers just this evening. The issue? Both are orangey brown. The plant is otherwise healthy. None of my males, all of which I killed today, were mature enough to have pollen, so she hasn’t been pollinated. Besides, they’re all still in veg.

Has anyone seen this? I did hose them ALL off gently in the shower with warm water, as I noticed honeydew on a couple leaves, which means I have some bugs. I then sprayed them with a mix of dish soap, water, oil, and baking soda after they air dried.

my other ladies - all Green Crack -look great. A few have one pistil emerging, and they are white.

I examine them all several times a day with a jeweler’s loupe. I’m attaching a couple pics of the pistil . If you zoom in, you can see the color.
Any help is appreciated!

Pistil should be no big deal, could of just damaged it from the spray.

You would be better off just using some neem oil spray imo though
