This is my first run with this strain and I've never seen a plant this along at day 15. The pistols are already forming buds? Does this mean the plant could be ready around day 55 or does the early forming or early advanced stage mean nothing?? I know a microscope loop is needed to look at tricomes, but... A typical plant of mine will be at day 20 not day 15.
Buds forming at 15 days, does this mean the plant is earlier finisher?

Its a clone from someone else and they don't know the flowering time... It's 15 days from 12/12

How quickly something shows pistils after flip has never been a reliable indicator of how fast it's going to finish in my experience. It's at least starting to flower quickly so even if it takes 12 weeks to finish you're on the way there. Knowing what the genetics are would help to narrow it down, but your environment and lights will play a role too. Focus on keeping it healthy and letting it finish in it's own time and you'll be in good shape.

15 days from 12/12 for a clone isn't really even that fast. I used to have several clones that always had flowers forming in 7 days from flip. They still took 10-12 weeks(for those strains) to finish flowering from that point.

15 days since flip for these two.

Clones taken from mature plants start flowering faster because it’s already a mature plant. The reason it takes longer from seed is most indoor growers when growing from seed flip before the plant is sexually mature. A mature plant will have visible pre-flowers on its main branches clones taken will start flowering pretty much as soon as they root and go 12/12.
Plants are now on day 35 about, I checked the tricomes with a loop and they are still clear although the plant looks finished. Also around day 20 and more so now some of the fan leaves turned purple. I guess the purple is just genetics although some previous strains of mine the leaves would turn purple when they finished... Also the plant looks done even though tricomes say otherwise, buds are hard and formed, etc..... My question is whats an early time frame when plants can be done????? Most of my plants have been done around day 60, the earliest was maybe day 56 while the latest was day 68 and I've done maybe 50 stains total... This strain is Lemon Cherry Gelato if that means anything, its probably 90% sativa.
Got pictures today?

Post pics of this 90 % sativa done in 35, you probably still have minimum 40 to 50 days to go

If most of your plants are finished in under 60 days you are harvesting too early

Trust me you are missing out on better quality doing this harvest by number of days

I didn't say its done, I said it looks way ahead of the curve. I said tricomes are still clear... Just wondrering if this could be like a 52-56 day strain.
