thanks how can you tell ? how long do you think i have left?
You’re probably two to three weeks out. Hard to tell. Right now there are too many white pistils. Just about all of them should be brown, and they will start to curl in and recede into the calyx’s a bit as they swell and thicken up. You want to wait for that to happen - it’s worth it - they’ll grow in density and flavor. .

Your pistils are still standing tall, many of them have not put on color yet(could be foxtailing) your sugar leaf is not that sugary. Wait til all your pistils are orangeish brown and receded into the flowers cayxels will swell tightly together. Fan leafs will start to darken into a purple/blue/black color. Don't worry about counting days/weeks post another pic in 2 weeks and we'll be able to tell more based on how much the progress in that time

I'm thinking more like 3-5 look at his sugar leaf just a dusting of tricomes around the edges think he still has a lot of rosin production to go before the swelling even starts to kick into gear

No + No = No

Run out as long as needed - no calendars , no guessing what week or what supposed timeframe .

Your own setup / environment for your grow is what the plants growth ( start to finish ) will be.
Plus your skill ( feeding / general gardening / watering ). Plants will not magically turn to dust if you push them out past alleged breeder hype.

Just let them bloom as needed , bulk up and harden off.
Maybe look at pics of harvest ready buds - No loupe or magic telescope necessary

I gave up, trying to look at the trichomes with the jewelers loop its impossible lol. most pistils are brown only a few white
Feed half of what you did last time in strength for your next plant, If it wants more feed more often. You'll fix so many of your problems. Right now it is anyone's guess as to weeks to a true finish because of stress and stunting. She couldnt even make a proper 5 finger leaf ending stretch

This varies plant to plant, grower to grower, but I find that otherwise sturdy branches will start to buckle from the weight of the bud, like the attached photo.

I know its a bit hard to see, but there's damn near no white hairs on that bud, and the calyx are more puffy than sharp (for lack of a better description). The bottom is usually less mature than the top, so unless you harvest in stages, I side with taking them long and getting the most out of the whole plant whenever possible.

This was a week before harvest. I probably could have taken her longer, but I'm not a perfectionist.
