Your welcome. Two days darkness isnt critical, however not harvesting until mostly cloudy, and some amber trichs is! As well as flushing 2 full weeks so you see her cannibalize, and use the last ferts stored in those yellowing leaves.

From the picture I assume you mean you have been flowering for 8 weeks. Plant is well into flowering mode by the pistils. Vertical growth usually stops when a plant starts flowering. Have you been "adjusting" the plant in regards to it's position under the light? Sometimes if you move a flowering plant around it will twist and turn as it attempts to follow the light. Any other "growth" is anamolous.

Good luck, BigSteve.
There 8 weeks from I planted seed..

Just wanted to Point out, Plants do not stop in vertical growth when flowering... It is true that most of its Photosynthesis is focused on producing bud, but they will still double to even triple in size throughout the flowering process, horizontally as well as vertically.

Hey Steff! When it really comes down to it, you look at the Trichome colors of your nugs, not the hairs(as I think thats what your refering to). Usually a good rule of thumb is when the hairs are 50% or more of the buds then its fully mature, but this isn't always the case. From the looks of your pics, your plant def. seems far from finished, However, you harvest by the color of the Trichomes, not the specific time mentioned for said strain, this is more of a guide line as many variables and change this. You can get a 60x-120x microscope for like 15-20 bucks on amazon. You put that up to your nugs, focus on the trichomes, and harvest by the color. Heres a list that I use as a guide.
Thanks for the chart info...
