I see your amber trichs there, coming in now. Not ready yet though!
As for the bleaching. What's going on from the plant perspective is a lack of chlorophyll in those spots, leading to a pale colour instead of green. It's a bit like purpling, which is the death of chlorophyll due to lower temps and/or genetics. Some people want that purple, but don't realize they are sacrificing the plant's photosynthesis (sugar generation) to get that colour. It's funny to me they are very similar from the perspective of the plant, but many growers hate bleaching but love purpling. Myself I try and avoid both.
Your flowers are very pretty here though, and lots of yield! You will remember this particular crop for all time, I bet. Enjoy :D
