Should I give up and harvest.

I'm thinking about giving up and harvesting early. My estimated harvest date is 9/24/2021. As you can see my plants have been damaged by to much light. I definitely got alot of awesome advice on ways to fix but I feel like I didn't do enough. What do you all think based on my pictures. Should I wait or screw it because the plant won't be able to recover from the light damage.

I appreciate the honesty. That's honestly where I'm leaning. I feel like the damage has been done. Plus I'm so close to the harvest date
 
The bud looks very open... are you certain 'too much light' was the cause? You were monitoring temperature? It doesn't look as if those are going to go much further.

When you say the bud looks very open what do you mean? Are you saying that it looks like it should grow some more? I'm totally not 100 percent sure it was light. I think that was a big part of it. I made a ton of mistakes. I grew this plant outside first and let it get way to big before I brought it back into the tent. Then when I finally got it inside the light I had on it was maybe 6 inches from canopy. Got some great advice to move my light and I did but I think I still had it turned up too high. I used a lux meter to measure light intensity but I think it underestimated how powerful the light is. I wasn't monitoring temperature at all.
 
So in your opinion should I keep going given how the plant looks?
Personally, if it was me, I would probably take her so I could get started on the next and better round. Cut your losses as nothing will change much in a few days and learn from things. But I would also just be using the plant to make RSO or edibles most likely and smoke a few nugs.

That's where the start of your problem happened, once established plants outside in the glorious sunshine and you bring them in under indoor lights they struggle and can even die... I've experienced this first hand... Other way round is perfectly fine, I always used to start my tomatoes under the lights and come spring move them outside and all good
 
Plant looks all over the place but obviously shows some reveg ( single leaf growth ) could be from outdoor indoor decision. Malformed flowers also.
The reveg complicated it now.

Give it a Burial at sea.

Thank you so much. I honestly didn't consider that. Thank you.
