Can't tell much from your photos, but those don't look like they are 6 weeks into flower.
It looks more like you have six weeks to go to me.

Yep, cutting all the leaves off probably slowed the growth setting you back on your harvest time.

You have a few weeks, if not more, left on those girls.

Your expert aint no expert, or mybe in fuck ups, he gave you wrong advice.....And you cant tell how much time plants need to fully flower, dont let the adds full ya My advice, use a microscope (30-100x) and you'll be able to tell when they are ready to be harvested (by the color of the trichomes) all on your own. Dont listen to experts, become one

You don't need a microscope to tell those are no way near ready, and the flower times from breeders are not a reliable source for your flowering.

Do some looking around at other peoples ready to harvest plants, and you will have a better idea of when yours are ready.

yeah and then a kick in the face will he's on the ground. thats bad stuff.
I dont know about you guys but I leave my leaves on until either over 50% damage,infestations,or 2 days till harvest(just to get them outta the way).

take it easy and good luck.

A plant will tell you when its ready. Dont freak out, take a couple bong rips and chill. If you supply the MJ plant with what it needs and you show it love and let it do its thang then it will indeed tell you when to harvest her. You will see, dont provoke nature..

When the pack says "7 weeks flowering" that is in addition to the number of weeks that you vegged for....if you vegged for 5 weeks then you are looking at 12 weeks total at least.... those girls are no where near ready!

You have nothing there to harvest - those buds look like they are at 2 or 3 weeks into flower.
The 7 week flowering time you keep quoting means nothing, your plant is no where near ready to harvest.

I honestly believe you have a month to go.
