Temps are back to normal around here. Currently lights off and its 21 C Hoping heat stress has not damaged the girls too much. With humidity we were hitting between 37-42 C outside. Any advice out there regarding next steps or will she come back on her own without a lot of intervention?

Just let them settle back in. What week of flower are you? I can't remember. Might be time to start checking your trichromes.

In the middle of 6th week. Most of the pistils are still yellow..some have started to turn orange. What am I looking for exactly?

Defiantly time to start watching. You'll need a jewelers loop or something that will magnify enough so you can get a good look at the trichs. They start out clear then milky and then amber. Your crop is most potent when all the trichs are milky but you'll never get them all milky with zero Amber so most people shot for a ratio of milky and amber. They claim the more amber the more couch lock the more milky the more energetic but I dont know, I've only found that that's all strain depended but I'm no scientist.

Even a local grow or head shop might have something . I got a scope from my local head shop. Works great.

You might try one of those magnifying apps for your phone camera. I tried them with mixed results. It's free so nothing to lose

Your magnification is to much. Cant see anything. You are looking for your mushroom shaped trichoms. Or maybe its just not clear.

It was at 100x magnification so I dropped it to 60x for the next two pics. Probably a little shaky too..lol.

From those pics I would guess at least a couple weeks.

I'm at a bit of a crossroads. My feed schedule worked out that my last straight watering was on Thursday so now I'm on the fence....just water or feed them once more?

Yea its better but still to much magnification really. You want to get a good wide view. I think mine is 40 or 60 X magnification and it works really well. The second pic is just one of a stigmas and the stigmatic papillae hairs on it. That picture doesnt have any Trichomes.
Make sure you are checking actual bud and kinda "within" the colas and not the sugar leaf outside, they will be ripe way before its time to harvest. From the other cola pic and that trichome pic you def have a ways to go! Let her get good and ripe! Check them every few days or so.
You would need to keep up your feed schedule if I was you. Just keep doing what you have been doing the past few weeks. She is not ready.
Edit to add: You will most likely need a few more feedings before shes done. So just stay on the same schedule and feedings/waterings that you have been.

I would check more with your scope and you want to look at the buds trichs not the sugar Leafs. The leafs will show milky and amber before the buds. If your going a few more weeks then definitely juice them up.
