How far do you reckon I'm through flowering and how close to harvest?

[Bignewbie]

Hi on my first grow and I'm just wondering how far people think my new baby is through flowering.
It showed stigmas 2 weeks and 2 days ago.

Assuming I'll have a fair bit of popcorn just hoping I might have a decent nug or too.

There are what coul be called 3 main colas I think.

I think it stretched a but too much and I have fair distance between the nodes. Some branches are struggling to support the small wispy nug areas as well. Will use string to hold them up.

It's og kush auto from ice head seed bank. Using canna line nutes.
100cm tall.
Just over 8 weeks old.

Canna terra soil.
Fabric pot 5 gallon.
600watt led.
1 litre of water a day sometimes two.

Any help and advice greatly appreciated.

Have a great day.

Good morning @Bignewbie garden looks lovely.
What is in your probably about 3 weeks or so into flower with a good 5 or 6 weeks left to go, strain dependent.
It's hard to tell but could be a touch hungry.
What's in your pots?
What ph you feeding at?
How often?

Stay safe

You are two weeks through flowering . Most plants will take 8 to 10 weeks from when the stigmas first start showing till they are ripe and ready for harvesting so figure you have at least 6 more weeks to go.

Over the next 4 weeks it will seem like the flowers are growing so slowly and that there is nothing that will happen. Growth is happening, just slowly, and sometimes we have a hard time seeing it.

Do not worry about the spacing between the nodes. The buds at the nodes will slowly start to grow longer; not larger as in bigger around, just a bit longer each week and if all goes well they will fill up the space.

Then after about 4 more weeks it will look like everything is done and it is time to harvest. But it is not. Now a new stage of flowering starts. The flower buds seem like they stopped growing and will not get any longer. Probably not but now they will spend the last 2 weeks or so getting larger around. And, they start to swell up and get heavier.

Figure another 6 more weeks, maybe 7 or 8, but at least 6. Nothing can be done to speed that up.

There are fertilizers that can be used to get even larger and heavier flower buds. These have to be given at this stage of growth but you can get a harvest even without using them.

Thanks guys. Just to give you a update.

Seems to be slowly increasing in size bud wise. It stopped growing upwards and outwards just over a week ago. Sugar leaves are showing a plenty.
No massive buds so far but still happy. Although does look like I have some sort of deficiency. PH has stayed at 6.2 - 6.3. using nutes (Canna A & B) although guess I need to stop those soon as not far off the final 2 weeks.

What do you guys think?

Feed them and keep ‘em green and happy all the way to the finish line. Unless you plan on smoking your soil, flushing is a waste of time.
If they stay healthy they’ll finish up strong like they’re supposed to.
They are just getting started….have fun watching.

Just some Info.

1.45 meter tall. 20 litre pot.
Canna terra soil.
24 hour light (600 watt equivalent led)
Cycling between pH water 6.2-6.3 and nutes every other watering.
The odd but rare prune of lower leaves / dying leaves

Thank you @Makeminefullgrown I won't stop the nutes then

Ok so a update.

5 weeks and 2 days some this Auto OG Kush showed stigmas.

Looking through the loupe I'm seeing 100% cloudy with a few amber on the sugar leaves.
On the buds I'm seeing under 50% clear and the rest milky.

1.48 meter tall.
She's still drinking water. Although maybe a little less than usual.
Stinks to high heaven.

Using nutes. Don't intend to flush.

What you reckon chop when buds show 100% milky? Or some clear still?

Thank you in advance of any advice. Will show close ups below.
