Week 8 of flowering DNA Lemon Skunk. I clipped the lowest bud I could find. Macro shot is on a USB microscope. Other shots show pistils have turned orange, but not fully receded. This was the second round of hairs. I had my temps go to the moon in week 5 and almost abandoned her. She recovered pretty well though. Any input is appreciated. Thanks

Okay, I'm going to bump this. On looks it looks done to me. My only other I pulled was probably 3 weeks early in hindsight. I'm worried with this because its right at week 8 and it's seen alot of stress.

I mentioned my temps got hot and I had to abandon my grow tent area. It was down for a good 3 1/2 weeks or so. I went from first 3 1/2 weeks of flower under a 600w HPS and a 300w LED. Because of my issue, I was forced to move. The next 3 1/2 weeks I was under the P300 LED only. Last week I had a sub-panel installed, resetup my tent and put her back in, but under the 600w HPS only.

I feel like her environment has been completely switched up. Primarily the spectrum and intensity of light. The first time all her hairs turned orange was after the heat issue. They started growing back nice, but this week after the light switch they seem to be all orange again. Can stress or heat cause trichromes to change early?
 
Man, okay, no love. Need pictures without HPS light? I took her outside for a glamour shot. Best camera I have, sorry. On the last pic, you can see some toasty buds that got burnt when my temps went out of control. Mainly the two lowest in the last pic. I pinched the end of one bud off because it was hard and dry. I began a flush last watering (4 days ago) I guess I will harvest in a week or so, but still not sure if better served letting it go another two weeks.

Yeah, mine always seem to spit another batch of new, white, ones right when I think about cutting. I am basing my opinion on the close-up. Not a whole lot of amber but most everything else cloudy. You could cut today, but still have options.
Nice plant in spite of issues overcome.
 
Thanks again for the confirmation. Still waiting at this point with two full water only flushes. I thought about this morning, but might push back till Saturday morning, since I'm off and can make it a wake and bake while I trim )

Still weighing my options for putting her into darkness for a bit first (more than my 12/12 off/on). Kind of like flushing, some say do it, some don't :confused:
