Hi kcobra and welcome, The flower "stretch" can vary by strain. Some plants stretch for 18 days, Others for 30 days. After the stretch, it's time for the plant "ta get serious" and put all its effort into the buds/flowers. Before it dies

So no more leaf growth or height will be added. But them buds should be "a plumpin"
Not sure about sticky "milky" substance? Unless you mean the stuff that looks like powdered sugar? That's normal, it's the trichomes, which are very good

You may notice the leaves around the flowers are rough and sticky, instead of relatively smooth like they were in veg. Again, this is normal and good. If this isn't the substance you are seeing, take an in focus pic of it and post it.
Your plants are lookin' good to me! Good luck the rest of the way home
