White Widow in 6th week of flower - Some things I need help diagnosing

[mrthornton]

Hey all. I'm in my 2nd year of growing so fairly new, but not a total noob. I've brought a dozen or so plants into harvest now.

I have this White Widow that (i think) is exhibiting some strange qualities that I haven't seen at this point before.

Below is the pertinent info, and below that is what I'm seeing (info and pictures) and need help diagnosing

What Strain is it? White Widow
Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid? What percentages? More Indica, maybe 50/50
How Many Plants? 2
Is it in Vegetative or Flowering Stage? Flower
If in Flowering Stage... How Long? Beginning of 6th week
Indoor or Outdoor? Indoor
Soil or Hydro? Soil
If Soil... What is in your Mix? Organic potting soil with perlite added.
If Soil... What Size Pot? 5 Gallon pot
Size (Wattage) of Light? How Many? 2 GalaxyHydro 300W LED''s
Is it Air Cooled? No
Temperature of Room/Cabinet? Been a little hot. Been staying in the low 90's. Hotter than recommended yes, but all my previous grows had to deal with it and did okay.
RH of Room/Cabinet? 50-60%
PH of Medium or Reservoir? 6.5PH
Any Pests? No signs of pests that I can tell. I put up a yellow sticky sheet and nothing had attached to it.
How Often are you Watering? As needed. When soil gets dry 2inches down, but have had a few days during this grow when it dried out so fast that the leaves began wilting. I've done that about 3 or 4 times but immediately got her watered and she started doing better.
Type and Strength of Fertilizers used? Fox Farms trio. Was using about 1/4" strength recommended, but she handled it well and then one time I went really hot on the nutrients and she got some nute burn so I've been flushing that out the last two waterings.
Size or Square Footage of Room? 3.5' x 3.5' x 5' grow tent

Here is what I am seeing. i vegged the plant for about 3 months. The plant oddly started showing red pistils a few weeks ago. All of them have since turned dark and curled in like it's trying to finish up. Trichromes are still clear and some cloudy

In the meantime the buds seems to really be growing slowly if at all. Much slower than I've seen in previous grows. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but they are tiny little buds. Strangely if they were bigger they look like they are ready for harvest, and they don't seem like they are growing.

Also got a lot of yellowing on the leaves. As I said I think I burned her with nutes once so may be lingering from that but looks kind of like a nitrogen deficiency in a way, and not a toxicity.

I don't know. I would love anybody's input as to what you guys think is going on (if anything, maybe I'm tripping , and what you would do with her if it were you.
Thanks for any help. Any questions feel free to let me know!

You aren't getting the plant wet are you? If so, the "sun" might cause the pistils to age/degrade.

Check for the presence of male flowers (even one). If you've had a male flower open and drop pollen into the environment, it would have pollinated some female flowers - and those female flowers' pistils would then have shriveled (because they're no longer needed, their entire purpose would have been fulfilled).

Hi MTHORNTON, Since it's quiet here I'll chime in with an opinion. First. Good job describing your girls issue! Second. I think she's feeling a little tight in the 5 gal pots. Looks like she's going to make it though. I hope someone else takes a look and sees something. I as well have little growing experiance but have had a few really good outcomes. They will be fine I'm almost sure. It's an emotional rollercoaster lots of the time. They struggle and usually overcome, like us.

Have you looked at your trichomes?
