what ended up happening, i am having the same issues, my four nothern lights are at week 8, they were getting nice and ripe, i flushed my girls giving it a 10 day to 2 week flush and im at ten days for my flush, before the flush it was about 60% pistils brown, they have swelled tremendous but a TON of new growth and pistils everywhere. its back up to 80% plus white pistils the trichomes are about 90% milky /10% clear. no amber trics yet. I can have pictures later tonight when my lights come on at 7 oclock if needed.
