yes the buds will get much bigger. none of the hairs on your plant have changed from white so its no where near ready to harvest. wait for amost 85% of the hairs to turn orange, and the buds to swell, they will look like they have seed in them. id say you have no less than 3 weeks still.

id say your got at least 3 weeks left! and yes the buds will build alot of their strength and deinsity within the last 2-3 weeks, stick it under the micrscope and hav a look at the trichomes

btw the problem with the pistols turning orage is that is isnt a clear or exact indication of the best time to chop, invest a little bit more time n money into ur lovely bud and chop at the best possible time.

sounds like some crazy strains. i dont buy seeds at all, i just save seeds from good bags i get and plant them. that plant in my album is unknown bagseed from som med grade.

Looks good dude, your buds will get a lot bigger in a few weeks time. It's crazy how fast they grow. Do you have a scope? You should check the trichs under like 30x magnification for a really good indication of when to harvest.
