Day 50 - Well the problem is consistent for all of the girls at least. She needs more food! Giving it to her.
Day 51 - Food seems to have helped. Learning is good. :-D
Day 52 - Her shiny luster came back. So now I'm 100% certain that the girls have been underfed. Will give them a more normal level of food and stop worrying so much about it.

Day 50 - So Sam #1 is 51 days old, Sam #2 Mandy is 50 days old, and 3 Bears OG #1 is 47 days old but much larger than the others. They are all showing the same symptoms. I have been underfeeding them out of fear of... overfeeding them. So yeah. They get more food now.
Day 52 - Food seems to have worked! Luster is back and color is richer. Will be less stingy with the food from now on.
Day 53 - Anomalous behavior detected. Mandy just threw one of her bud sites up an inch in the last 24 hours. No idea why but she seems to want to grow more before she starts fattening up her buds more. No changes to lighting or position in tent, although she was rotated a bit when I took her out to water her. She's got secrets.
Day 56 - This new weirdo top of hers is still growing. She's sixteen inches tall after a full and thorough LST job, and now a bigass cola decides to shoot up out of her in week eight. Second flowering stretch? Weird pheno? Leprechauns?
@SCAR17s, I know right!?! This was a plant that was born half blackened and missing a cotyledon leaf, too! Classic underdog story! :-D so proud of her. She'll be the one I remember most of my first grow.
What ever your doing keep it up she looks great. Keep an eye on the leaves/buds. The highest leaves are showing signs of the beginning of light burn. Could be those parts are more directly centered under the light where it is most intense. I dealt with a simular issue on my grow. I was a bit faked out thought it was a deficiency. If shes close to her chop day you could cut down to 20hrs of light it might help.
@Philindicus, Yeah she's a weird plant, actually. She was heavily LSTed and had a flat canopy. I mean super flat, and at day 56, out of the blue, maybe five days after her flower stretch ended, she just decided to shoot a dominant cola out of the center of her mass. I mean she was DONE going up for days and all of the sudden BLOOP, a top, sticking six inches up. Was so weird. And then of course her main canopy, which is made up of eleven or twelve 12 inch colas is at a perfect height.
So I'm kind of stuck in a dilemma at this point. Let her other colas get the right amount of light and risk damage to that dominant or let the unanticipated dominant get all the glory at the possible expense of a whole lot of yield.
So I decided to let her get a bit bleached. We're at day 62 of a strain whose parents are a 55-65 day grower (Sour Crack) and a 70-75 day grower, (Samsquanch OG.) so I'm guessing that she's got maybe a week or two at the outside? I'm not sure. I guess you never know with gen 1 crossbreeds. If it looks like that top will get irreparable damage before the end of her life cycle I may take some action.
Does that make any sense?
