How much time left for these girls? EXPERIENCED ADVICE

Just trying to get some info from an experienced grower.
I know the pics aren't the best, but if these were your hydro plants, how much longer would you expect until flowering is finished based on how they look now?
Worried about space and timing.

You could lower your light cycle to 10 hours of daylight and 14 hours of night, but at this point in the grow you will reduce your yield and potency.

Why the sudden worry about time? A simple search on here would reveal "most" strains have an 8-10 week flowering period. Those plants looks maybe two weeks into flower, did you expect them to be done in under a month to begin with?

You could be lucky and have a fast strain. What strain?

The one you see in the pic is Master Kush. There are 3 of those plants in the tent. One is an Aurora Indica, which doesn't seem very indica to me considering how much I've had to tie it down and the wide spacing between the nodes on all kolas.

Try not to patronize homie. I knew EXACTLY how long the flower time is. This is my first grow so I wanted to see if they were progressing normally.
I'm suddenly worried about time because although I did anticipate the flowering time, I did not anticipate such rapid vertical growth. It's a good thing, means they are healthy, but it's getting crowded in the tent and I'm worried I won't be able to tie everything down eventually and may suffer losses due to that. I can only hope that the rapid vertical growth will slow in the next few weeks, otherwise I will run out of space. Great problem to have I guess.

They are super healthy plants, just maybe too healthy for what I have set up. I think I vegged too long. Live and learn.

Here's an update:

How much time do these ladies have? It is important for me to know for nutrient additives I want to add.
I'm at the end of the 4th week of flowering.
I am using Bud Candy and Bid Bud now, but also have Overdrive. Overdrive's supposed to be used in the 2 weeks before the final flush week. But, I would do that now assuming there is 3 weeks left. If there is 4 or 5 I'm going to continue with Big Bud for another week, then switch it out for the Overdrive when I do my last flush and nutrient refill next weekend.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. (Maybe even some rep!)

Ok. So one more week of Big Bud.
Just to be clear, this is a hyrdo set up, and I flush and refill every 2 weeks. So one more flush, clean, refill next week, then 2 weeks more of nutes, then a final flush and refill with just RO water and Flushing agent.

Can I flush with just water for more than one week? I ask just in case the buds aren't ready after the first week of final flush.
