Spraying anything on it? Some IPM stuff causes pistils to brown prematurely

Its a sign that your buds are starting to mature. You are getting to the final stage just before harvest.

What happens is as the buds mature the pistils turn brown or orange, usually when 80% of the hairs have turned colour is a good indicator that its nearly ready. Yours are some way off.

Possible Popcorn Buds?
I am concerned that the buds are still small and may come out as popcorn buds. BUT, this is my first grow. Just added week 6 to grow diary with pics. Just FYI, there is some leaf downturn in this photo. It was taken right after feeding and I always get that for an hour or so.

High temperature
I am still confused as the temperature now is 30+ celsius, and the daylight lasts for around 15 hours per day, should I move it to another cooler place with more hours of darkness? or just don't leave it in direct sunlight?

Buds not getting bigger
My gorilla girl has really small buds still at week 7. Are the buds just under taking longer to develop ( long flower time ) ? Is there something I did wrong with plant ( or genetic). Is there anything I can do at this stage to promote bud growth ?

The leaves are yellowing, some are turning purple.
The leaves are yellowing, some are turning purple, maybe it's normal or maybe not, I don't know. If anyone could give me some suggestions. I decreased the light intensity to 75% because unfortunately I can't raise the lighthouse.
