White patches on late flowering buds?? Light burn? [Pics included]

Im in northern new Jersey this plant was started outdoors in May and had ro come indoors three weeks ago. Since then they've been under a red-spectrum only, halogen lamp getting crazy heat&strong light dumped on them. I just wanted to keep them alive until I could order proper lights!

Now I see a few small bright patches of white- all through the spot on bud not just on outside, doesn't wipe off and when magnified looks like lots if trichomes with stringy white fuzz everywhere?

The buds just didn't get the nutes to get big I get that but perhaps resin production still did alright? Is this bleaching?? Should i just harvest- im seeding amber trichomes so pretty soon they're going to stay degrading right? Im a very novice grower so im just guessing any help it's greatly appreciated. 20201109_145508.jpg20201109_184157.jpg20201109_184049.jpg20201109_183753.jpg20201109_133455.jpg20201109_145221.jpg20201109_141830.jpg20201109_141809.jpg20201109_141756.jpg20201109_141739.jpg

3 weeks under a halogen after being sun babies? You're just burning them at this point. I don't think much more need be said....

And also, three weeks ago was still the middle of October, how are they not done by now?
I think it's a combination of multiple factors. Random soil, no extra nutes, I'm assuming poor nutrient intake as well obviously. This was my first grow so totally a learning experience. I used the halogen light to try and just keep them alive until my LEDs got here but perhaps I've reached the point of no return. Thanks for the help

You're right- I've never switched a plant from outdoor to indoor &I'm definitely still surprised that they hung on this long. I threw away the affected buds and im harvesting now- wish me luck!

Mhmm, that's a daunting change to make.

but good call and best of luck! for your own safety you should check out the health concerns surrounding that powdery mildew. I used to try to salvage PM bud but it honestly sounds a little too scary to me now.
