Not an expert - but a lot of the guides I've read say that once you see red hairs add 3 weeks to get the estimated harvest date. 8 weeks isn't unreasonably short for a finish date, at least for most of the strains I've looked into.

Dont really watch the pistols for your bud to be done. But rather watch the trichomes. The pistols can die off for many reasons. Thats no way to gauge your plants doneness...Goto Radio Shack and buy a 100X Magnifier glass and look at the the little mushroom looking cyrstals. As soon as those turn from clear to milky to amber. There done, when Theres mostly milky, Some amber and some clear.

And the drooping could be many things well. Probly over watering though. good luck man.

Or mostly cloudy with some clear and some amber if you want a more heady less stony buzz...

I just ordered a scope through 420 science for 31 bux so ill check the trichs!
add 3 weeks huh that would put it close to my harvest date. also does anyone know where a week to week detailed bud development thread or site so I can read to tell me what their suppose to be doing that week of flowering i have a book the growers bible to medical mj which is good and all but nothing detailed on a week to week basis

Um, you said the same thing as him except you used 'cloudy' instead of 'milky' and switched 'clear' with 'amber', but it didn't change the meaning at all.

That is what happens when you browse GC and try to comment when you are stoned

hahaha so true man..

8 weeks is about normal when it gets close to that time look at some trichs on the leaves.

The funny part is, I probably wouldn't have noticed if I WASN'T stoned when I read that.

Hey man, I am seeing the same thing on 1 of my plants. Brown hairs in week 4. My other plant has no brown hairs. Same seeds, different soil. Hmm.

jewelers loops work well for eye'n the trichs

Couple things that i've seen cause hairs to turn early are: male flowers spreading pollen and buds hitting against leaves or each other from air movement.

I do have my fan blowing between the HID and the tops! I just recieved my scope and the trichs are not milky yet !!!!!!

lilgreenman that is my plant its also my signature but it doesnt look like that anymore it was regenerated put it outside to early and started to flower so when the long days came in June it reverted to Veg, Bumber on that one
