White widow growing problem. Help is needed

Hi everobdoy!

I love this forum. It has become one of my most visited web sites.
I am a first time grower. Let me give you some information about my plants:
I am growing 2 super lemon hazes by greenhouse, 2 white widows by greenhouse, 1 mako haze by kiwiseeds, 1 Mt Cook by kiwiseeds. I have put them into 12/12 about 5 weeks ago. More clearly, today is 32nd day that they are flowering. I have 1000 W HPS, about 2 feet (60cm) from the top of the plants.
I have a little concern. Yesterday i was checking my white widows. Couple of buds in the middle of the plant got me concerned. Most of the calyxes of 2 buds are turning brown (yellow) already. The buds didn't even pop. As far as i know, white widow's flowering period is 8 to 9 weeks. This is only 5th week of their flowering. I thought maybe these buds are getting ready to be harvested. I dried and smoked and got almost no high. I have never tried white widow before but from what i had read i had the impression that this is a very potent strain. So my questionis: is it fine that most of the calyxes of couple of buds started to turn brown this early?. What do i do with those buds. Should i harvest them or do i wait untill most of the buds' calyxes start to turn brown?

Thank you in advance.

Having calyxes turn brown is not a good sign. Can you post some pics? How's the humidity and heat? In my experience brown buds usually are the result of being burned or molded.
