Stop making multiple posts about the same thing.

If your plants look like your pics have you even switched them to 12/12?
You should have buds like this not just leaves.

Weeks left to go!
All those white hairs (pistils) will change to orange, the buds will look plump and swollen.
then you may have around 2-3 weeks left.
As it stands today you have around 5-6 weeks left before they are ready.

I stand by my response mate.
clearly you want it to be less time but in both threads now you’ve had pretty much the same answer as to how much time is left.
I don’t care if it’s a 7 week strain (never come across one yet in 12 years of growing) whether your auntie has grown this strain or not your environments will be different as they won’t be setup the same so flowering times can change.
Ultimately they are your plants and you will do what you want with them anyway regardless of what anyone on the internet tells you.

Over the past couple of years I haven't had any strain come in under 12 weeks, one might have been ready at 11 weeks. When you see all these people talking about 7-8 week strains they are harvesting their bud waaaay early. To get the most out of the time, money, and effort you put into these plants, try to harvest them at peak ripeness. Coming here and asking for opinions is a good idea. Here is a good short post on the signs of ripeness to look for https://forum.grasscity.com/threads/a-guide-on-when-to-harvest.666373/ Good luck!
That looks like budrot starting. That brown color. Look at your pic attached to this post.

I think this is the third or fourth post on these plants in the last two days. they aren’t the healthiest looking bunch, but they got plenty of time to go. You gotta be patient when growing the herb or your bound to screw it up. Rushing things or trying fifty things to hurry them along. just water, check and wait sometimes when I’m getting Ansi I have my wife tend to them for a few days. Then when I come back I usually am happier with what’s changed and ready to keep going. calm down and just burn one and wait man if you keep asking the same stuff over and over expecting different results someone on here’s going to light you up.

Do not use KELP and just keep doing what you're doing for the next 2 weeks then give them plain water aka "flush" for a week and then chop them down. Looking alright.
Kelp is not something you want to use if you're asking questions like these. It can cause a lot of weird shit to happen to certain plants due to the hormones in it. I would leave Kelp to growers who've already done the Trial & Error with genetics and feeding stuff like Kelp. Personally I've had too many strains fox-tail or show unsavory traits after using Kelp based products..
