Seed to harvest data. Hype or etched in stone?

[beard o]

I'm growing autos for the first time, so I'm more or less learning as I go. I understand photos, but autos happen faster.

So here's my question, seed to harvest data. Is it factual or best case scenario?
I'm growing a 420Fastbuds Wedding Cheesecake. It's billed as 63 days, seed to harvest.
I'm on day 58, and while the buds look fine, I can't see them ready for harvest in 5 days. Pistils are white and feathery, lots of nose.
Thoughts

by the look of your plant probably 3 weeks min, what medium & pot size & nutes & lights?

Thank you. You put my mind at ease. Fastbuds hypes their seeds "seed to harvest 63 days". I'm looking at these and thinking there's no way in hell they'll be ready in 5 days.
Don't get me wrong, Fastbuds so far has been great, maybe just a little too much marketing hype.

they all do that i've never had one that came in on time but they're set up to their liking (grow rooms & scientests & all) no journal going?

Totally disregard times set by breeders , they just want your money, the plants ready when it's ready
Grow times can be like a piece of string

Days til harvest is just a guideline, or how long the breeder cut takes. Each plant will be different, and each plant in each garden. I don't even count days anymore. Or weeks. I just look at the plant. Yours I would say easily has 4 weeks left.

Con,

Medium is FFOF amended with perlite and myco. Pot size 5 gallon.
Nutes are GH Maxigrow in veg, over to GH Maxibloom in flower. Once a week in flower I add a 1/4 tsp on Beasty Bloomz. I plan of finishing with 1/4 of Cha Ching at the end of flower.
I experimented with lights this grow. Began with a 600w MH from seedlings to early veg, held @4'. Then switched over to 1000w MH for the rest of veg. At the first sign of flower I switched to a 1000w HPS for flower. I'm presently on 1000w HPS. Run on a 20/4 cycle.

I'll post final results.

Howdy,Alot of variabilities for finishing time, environmental factors have alot to do with it as well as genetics

Follow the tri combs, I go for 10% clear to 90% milky that's my rule of thumb i like the effect when its cut at that stage i think amber is to long, to couch locky for my taste
