Beige PLA getting really stringy on multicolor prints

Been printing dozens of these multicolor prints. Recently the stringing started getting really bad, to the point where I have to start picking off hard bits or just straight up toss some because of irreparable pits or stuck on plastic.

Printer: Snapmaker U1

Slicer: Snapmaker Orca

Filament: polymaker PLA

Temps: N 220 B 65, and im pretty sure it hangs out at around 140 during swaps but don't see a setting for it

Speed: max flow 12 mm3/s, outer wall speed 200mm/s

Retraction: 0.3mm distance, 30mm/s speed, spiral wipe on Z hop

This only happens on multicolor prints, I tried separating the fins from the rest of the print (pic 2) and they came out fine.

Any troubleshooting ideas? Slicer settings to tweak, need to clean something on that toolhead?
