Is this a heat or nute issue ?
Checked my outdoor guerrilla girl and found this leaf, the problem is going through the whole plant and it just a few weeks in flowering
Insight welcome

Hit it too early with a high phosphorus bloom booster? Hit it with a 10-10-10, get it back on track.

@PioneerValleyOG … Seems like your getting a consistent “wait” response but remember your the Master of your grow. Do what you feel is in your best interest my friend. Remember we’re all looking at less than perfect pic examples. There’s nothing like being live to make an end all decision here, nobody sees what you see in person. Go with your gut… live and learn by the experience, you can’t lose. My own ladies are stacking nicely but aren’t even in the discussion regarding maturity but are on schedule minus a couple late bloomers! Lol:D

Do you have a digital microscope? When I get towards the end, I remove smaller buds and look at them with mine. You can also take pictures and screen shots and share those, so that other people can get better of what you are seeing. I share my pics with a small community and harvest by committee, also sharing whole plant pics and bud shots.

Nice looking grow. The whole things bizarre to me. The difference between looking at the plants with my eye through a scope, through my phone with a scope, and through my wife’s iPhone , and on my tablet, is just flummoxing. You’re right, in all that you said. Thing is, facts are, as a grower, technology and techniques have evolved. Where I used to eyeball the plant and say it’s done, now comes down to specific conditions of ‘doneness.’ The most trouble I got into was the first year I used a scope, harvested way too early by reading incorrect areas, sugarleafs instead of calyxes.
However, once I learned to use the technology; like using sites and friends to help decide when done. But as time goes on, this all ties into your gut. My antenna twanged when I saw all the amber. My gut said way too many white pistils. 2 days later, red pistils abound. Wish I could afford a digital scope, I am but a humble, frugal grower.

Something like this would work great! I am amazed at the price, frankly. https://smile.amazon.com/Microscope-Skybasic-Magnification-Compatible-Smartphone/dp/B07DVFBVPF/ref=sr_1_4?crid=BJOYGKJG6OD4&keywords=digital+microscope&qid=1662238594&sprefix=digital+microscop,aps,118&sr=8-4

I’m the “Matrix” of my grow. No one calls the grow “over” till this fat boy sings! :bigjoint: I’m limited in outdoor experience to date but I depend on you and others on this thread to what is a real outdoor experience and subsidize that with what I know from my own extensive indoor experience. But dang... In the end, I’m making the call… guys like you and the many others in this thread carry me, but not the end all be all. If you thinks it’s done then it’s done! Lol Btw… you got my attention with the 10-10-10 fertilizer in flower. I used that in my re-soil regeneration but 10 on the Nitrogen side seems high in flower. Just trying to understand…;)

PVOG I’m just not seeing anything amber, or even enough that have turned milky. And you’ve still got bracts that haven’t swelled yet, so I’d say hang in there.

These things are still stretching. They don't look too green, but I'm thinking of cutting back on the Calnit by 20%.

Looks good from here “7”! Hmmm… you got them ladies mounted on stacked milk crates? Good way to keep them off the ground and away from pests, though it expedites overall height. What size pots fit on top should that be the case? I’m using 10’s this year and I’d think even those would hang over the edges of a milk crate w/o some additional drainage plating on top of the crates (ex: like a piece of sized plywood riddled with drainage holes). I’m personally on a deck and currently using 1/2 pallets for my ladies to sit on.
