8 weeks from change is a general time frame, you need to check the trich change in color for the accual time to harvest

When I switch to 12/12, the next day is day one. The strain I work with is a 45-50 day finish so I count 56 days from day one and that's when I harvest. That little cushion of extra days is to insure that they are done indeed and they always are. I also check the Trichomes with a microscope to see how they look and because it's really cool! After a couple of crops you will be able to tell by sight pretty much but never guess, always keep track of the days going by to be accurate. I just did a crop and expect another one in 18 days. I like to keep them coming every month. Your strain may have a higher percentage of Sativa genetics than was advertised. Sativa strains which are mainly Equatorial, take much longer than Indica's to flower and harvest. There is a website called the "Marijuana Strain Library" which has info on just about any strain you can imagine and very indept info at that I might add. It's one site every grower should have in their own library so to speak...

The best way to decide when it's harvest time is by trich color.

Thanks you guys and Malcom you are right on. It is a sativa dominent but why advertise 8 weeks than? It looks like it might be a 10 weeker. I do have a 30 to 100times microscope and know what to look for but just was wondering about that switch ? since there is no way this strain will be done in 8 weeks. Well thanks all and looks like I will just have to wait a bit longer.

2nd week in and from there on out 8 weeks is more realistic.
Seed company's are there to sell seeds not realistic time frames and if they can shave 2 weeks off a harvest that makes it more appealing.
Trichs of course are the final say so, but in general, it seems that the trichs are right about 2 weeks later than what the seed co's say.
It's all marketing, not reality.
