Need help deciding what to do here.
TL;DR: Finished week 11 of flower today. My plant is foxtailing with new pistols, not all of my trichomes are cloudy yet, I'm picking out nanners everyday due to stress it has been through and this is a 9-10 week strain.
Info and Background
A single plant, Skywalker OG, full organic with Dr earth line of nutrients. Pre amended soil with top dressing every 2 weeks along with compost teas in 3x3 tent. Things were going amazing and at the end of week 7 I messed up the pH of my root zone by adding a bit of molasses to my watering to feed microbes.
I should not have done this. Started seeing signs of deficiency one week later. It kept spreading and buds were still all white hairs. I didn't realize that this was a pH issue until the deficiency revealed to be lockout and confirmed with soil slurry test that came back very low. I flushed slightly to about half gallon runoff in 5 gal bucket. And began watering in with a higher pH water.
14 days after my pH issue I finally got the signs of deficiency to stop spreading. 2 days after that I found my first nanner. Since then, I've been inspecting every day for more and removing any sign of them.
I am currently starting week TWELVE of flowering (4 weeks since the initial mistake that stalled my plant progress) and the plant started foxtailing a lot and growing new pistols the past two weeks. Sometimes with nanners. I've removed nanners and even a few immature green seeds that had started.
Some of this foxtailing I attributed to having a few issues keeping temps down during a heat wave but no canopy temps over 82f. But I feel some of it could be the plant fighting to reproduce and bouncing back in a weird way after the pH issues.
I haven't chopped this plant yet because the trichomes aren't quite there. A good portion still clear. I thought at first that they weren't progressing at all but the past few days I think I've noticed slightly more cloudy. My current theory is that may plant basically lost 2 weeks and is now 2 weeks behind.
Question
Should I try to let my plant go a bit longer (through week 12) or chop now due to nanners and continued foxtailing? All other hairs are red and curled up except the new foxtailing but the trichome development got paused with the pH issue.
Thanks so much for any advice.
Unfortunately I don't have any good pictures of the trichome development.
